The reconciliation meeting between the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) and the management of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery ended without resolution on Monday, despite intervention from the Federal Government.

The meeting, which began around 4 p.m. in Abuja, was convened by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Mohammed Dingyadi, alongside the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkiruka Onyejeocha. It lasted for about nine hours, stretching into the early hours of Tuesday.

Sources at the meeting confirmed that key issues around workers’ welfare, employment terms, and labour rights could not be resolved, leading to a deadlock.
