Over 100 sacked Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) employees have taken legal action against the bank in the National Industrial Court, challenging their abrupt and unjust termination under President Bola Tinubu’s re-organization strategy ¹ ² ³. The dismissed staff are seeking damages, payment of entitlements, and other compensatory measures.

The employees claim that their termination was not based on performance or organizational needs but was instead a calculated move to clear the decks for the new leadership ³. They are seeking full payment of their monthly salaries, allowances, and all other financial benefits they should have been entitled to if they were still in the employment of the bank, from the time their employments were terminated to the time they should have retired from the apex bank.

The CBN had sacked about 200 of its staff in May 2024 through a letter titled “Re-organisation of the CBN,” a move that has unsettled the affected employees, who are now demanding their entitlements and compensation for damages.

PRESS RELEASE

Port-Harcourt Refinery Fully Operational

The attention of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has been drawn to reports in a section of the media alleging that the Old Port Harcourt Refinery which was re-streamed two months ago has been shut down.

We wish to clarify that such reports are totally false as the refinery is fully operational as verified a few days ago by former Group Managing Directors of NNPC.

Preparation for the day’s loading operation is currently ongoing.

Members of the public are advised to discountenance such reports as they are the figments of the imagination of those who want to create artificial scarcity and rip-off Nigerians.

Dangote Refinery faces competition from several sources, including: 

  • Fuel importers
    The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) continues to issue licenses for refined product imports, which can make it harder for Dangote to meet local demand. 

  • Marketers
    Marketers have different views on whether to pay Dangote in advance for petrol. Some say that advance payments can put financial pressure on marketers, especially those with limited capital. Others say that advance payments are necessary to ensure the refinery’s operations run smoothly. 

  • Legal disputes
    Oil marketers are in a legal dispute with Dangote over the refinery’s request to restrict import licenses. 

  • Direct purchasing
    Marketers can now purchase petrol directly from Dangote Refinery and other local refineries. This allows marketers to negotiate commercial terms directly with the refineries, which can create a more competitive market environment. 

The start of operations at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and other refineries has increased transparency and market competition in West Africa.
