By Victor Ahiuma-Young
Indications have emerged that the management of Dangote Group has agreed to allow workers at its refinery and petrochemicals operations to join the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG).
Sources at the meeting told Vanguard that a memorandum of understanding (MoU) is being drafted for signature by the parties.
According to the sources, the parties are also considering a two-week timeframe for implementation of the MoU.
Communiqué wording stalls agreement
The choice of words in the communiqué has stalled the meeting convened by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Muhammadu Dingyadi, to resolve the ongoing face-off between the Dangote Group and the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) over unionization, among other issues.
Sources told Vanguard that while parties had reached near agreement on most issues — with the Dangote Group reportedly conceding to allow its workers to join NUPENG, the major point of contention — the meeting deadlocked over the “wordings of the communiqué.”
