Wakili said the development comes less than 24 hours after 90 percent of them joined the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN.<\/p>\n

According to a memo dated September 25, 2025, and signed by the Chief General Manager of Human Asset Management, Femi Adekunle, Wakili posted on X, the company said the decision was taken as part of a \u201ctotal re-organisation\u201d of the plant following reported cases of sabotage in different units of the refinery.<\/p>\n

The notice directed affected staff to surrender all company property in their possession to their line managers and obtain exit clearance.<\/p>\n

The finance department was also instructed to compute benefits and entitlements for payment in line with the terms of employment.<\/p>\n

The refinery\u2019s management thanked the dismissed workers for their services while in its employment.<\/p>\n
