The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has suspended its strike following an agreement with the management of Dangote Refinery to recognise workers’ rights to unionise.
The agreement was reached at a closed-door meeting convened by the Department of State Services (DSS) and attended by the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, and representatives of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Abuja on Tuesday, September 9, 2025.

The Acting NLC General Secretary, Benson Upah, confirmed the outcome, while the Ministry of Labour said it would issue a statement soon.
The resolution followed a conciliation meeting convened by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment on Monday, September 8, after NUPENG threatened to embark on a nationwide strike over the company’s initial refusal to recognise workers’ union rights.
