The Dangote Refinery Management has refuted a story made on the web platforms of several media organizations that claimed the business engaged 11,000 skilled workers from India while ignoring youths from Nigeria and other African countries.
In response to the publications, Anthony Chiejina, the Group's Chief Branding & Communications Officer, stated that the report was produced with malicious intent because it did not reflect the amount of skilled Nigerians on site.
He stated that the magnitude of the project necessitated a specialized skilled workforce from all over the world, and that while over 30,000 Nigerians were employed among the skilled workforce, at the peak of construction in the Refinery complex, 6,400 Indians and 3,250 Chinese workers were employed among the skilled workforces.
