The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, implemented the shutdown of the Dangote Refinery plant on Sunday.
This was in an update on the striking union’s action against Dangote Refinery over mass sacking.
The union said its members have shut all oil installations nationwide.
It noted that the refinery plant is 100 per cent shut down; fertiliser plant train two is also 100 per cent shut, with train one running at 60 per cent capacity.
The union added that the diesel plant is still running at the moment. However, the development has not been confirmed by Dangote Refinery.
The implication is that crude and gas supply to the refinery has been disrupted.
Recall that in a statement on Saturday, Dangote Refinery described the PENGASSAN directive as economic sabotage.
The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission on Sunday urged Dangote Refinery and PENGASSAN to engage in dialogue to resolve the rift.
The dispute between Dangote Refinery and PENGASSAN started after the former sacked over 800 workers for belonging to the union.
