A reconciliation meeting between the management of the Dangote Refinery and leaders of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has been relocated to the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA). The meeting, which is currently being held behind closed doors, aims to resolve the ongoing dispute between the two parties.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Mohammed Dingyadi, is in attendance, along with representatives from PENGASSAN. The decision to move the meeting to the NSA’s office suggests a high-level effort to address the issues at hand. PENGASSAN members had earlier arrived at the initial meeting location, only to proceed to the NSA’s office thereafter.

The Dangote Refinery, a significant player in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry, has been embroiled in a dispute with PENGASSAN, which represents senior staff in the petroleum and natural gas sector. The specifics of the dispute have not been publicly disclosed, but the involvement of the NSA and the Minister of Labour and Employment indicates the gravity of the situation.

The Nigerian government has been working to resolve the dispute, which has the potential to impact the country’s oil and gas production. The meeting at the NSA’s office is a critical step in this process, as it brings together key stakeholders to negotiate a resolution. The fact that the meeting is being held behind closed doors suggests that sensitive issues are being discussed, and a thorough resolution is being sought.

As the meeting continues, it remains to be seen what outcome will be reached. The resolution of the dispute is crucial for the stability of Nigeria’s oil and gas industry, and the government’s efforts to address the issue are being closely watched. Further developments are expected to emerge from the meeting, which will likely have significant implications for the industry and the country as a whole.
