Following the intervention of the Department of State Services (DSS), Dangote Refinery and MRS Oil have fully implemented their agreement with the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), restoring union stickers on tankers as directed in the earlier Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
GISTSMATE MEDIA reports that on Friday, both oil firms and NUPENG at a meeting convened by the DSS, resolved to adhere strictly to the September 9, 2025, truce that settled weeks of industrial tension.
The resolution included an immediate restoration of NUPENG stickers on all trucks, which has now been carried out.
Sources confirmed that the meeting was attended by the Minister of State for Labour, a Deputy Director General of the DSS, representatives of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), as well as officials from Dangote, NUPENG, the Trade Union Congress (TUC), and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
The resolution reaffirmed that workers have the right to unionise under NUPENG and cautioned against future violations.
The September 9 MoU had granted workers the freedom to join unions without interference. However, within 24 hours, NUPENG accused Dangote Refinery of breaching the pact — a claim the company denied. In subsequent statements, NUPENG insisted that Dangote sought to weaken organised labour and restrict workers’ rights, a practice it alleged was already in force across the group’s cement and sugar plants.
