The Dangote Petroleum Refinery says it has approved the recall of engineers previously redeployed across its business units.
According to a statement, the decision followed a “conditional pardon” after internal disciplinary actions linked to operational disruptions.
In an internal memo to staff referenced in the statement, the company said the decision also followed an extensive review process and appeals from respected individuals, stakeholders, and the affected engineers.
According to the memo, signed by Devakumar Edwin, group vice-president, oil and gas, the engineers will be invited for a meeting before being reassigned to resume duties at the Refinery.
The refinery said the recall also includes personnel who did not take up earlier redeployment options that were offered.
The company acknowledged that the recall, though not an easy decision, reflects its commitment to fairness and second chances, while reiterating that discipline, professionalism, and adherence to corporate values remain non-negotiable.
Dangote Refinery, however, warned that any recurrence of misconduct would attract immediate sanctions, reiterating its zero-tolerance stance on actions that could undermine operations.
The company said it expects the returning engineers to demonstrate renewed commitment as it works to strengthen operational efficiency.
