Dangote Refinery & Petrochemical has given 120 local contractors about $368 million worth of contracts on its site. This stands as its own input to deepen the Nigerian local content development initiative.

This was revealed in Lagos, yesterday, by the Group Executive Director, Strategy, Portfolio Development and Capital Projects, at Dangote Industries Limited, Mr Devakumar Edwin, during a tour of Dangote Refinery by members of Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) and Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR).

This follows the company’s recent dismissal of workers: Recall that the company recently dismissed about 300 Nigerians working on projects in the refinery site. It was alleged that the dismissed Nigerian workers were replaced with Chinese.
