In a statement on Wednesday, Dingyadi confirmed that the Dangote Group had agreed to redeploy staff earlier disengaged from refinery operations to other companies within the conglomerate, with no loss of pay. “After examining the procedure used in the disengagement of workers, the meeting agreed that the management of Dangote Group shall immediately begin the process of redeploying the disengaged staff to other companies within the Dangote Group, with no loss of pay. No worker will be victimised arising from their role in the impasse between Dangote and PENGASSAN,” the minister said. After Monday’s initial talks ended in a deadlock, the government reconvened negotiations on Tuesday at the Office of the National Security Adviser. The Federal Government said its intervention was necessary to safeguard economic stability and national energy security.
