The breakthrough came after a high-level meeting involving representatives of the Federal Government, Organised Labour, and the Dangote Group.
Following the agreement, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed, outlining key commitments to protect workers’ rights and begin the unionisation process immediately.
According to the MoU, the unionisation of Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals workers will commence on September 9 and is expected to be completed by September 22, 2025.
According to the agreement, the employer will not create or sponsor any rival union and assures that no employee will face victimisation as a result of union activities.
All parties agreed to report back to the Minister of Labour in two weeks with an update on the level of implementation of the MoU.
