🚨 Tech Discrimination Case

Nigerian software engineer, Ridwan Akinfenwa, has reportedly lost a $260,000 international job offer after the company withdrew because of his nationality.

Despite passing all interviews and securing the role, the firm allegedly reversed its decision, citing restrictions tied to his country of origin.

This incident has reignited debates about bias in global recruitment and the challenges Nigerians face on the international job market.

❓ Do you think global companies should be allowed to deny opportunities based on nationality — even when a candidate is fully qualified?

NUPENG Suspends Strike After Agreement With Dangote Refinery

The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has suspended its planned strike following an agreement with the management of Dangote Refinery to recognise workers’ rights to unionise.

The resolution was reached during a closed-door meeting convened by the Department of State Services (DSS), attended by the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, representatives of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and other stakeholders.

According to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed at the meeting, both parties affirmed that unionisation is a fundamental right under existing labour laws. Employees of Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals who wish to unionise will be allowed to do so, with the process set to commence immediately and be concluded within two weeks.

Acting NLC General Secretary, Benson Upah, confirmed the outcome, while the Ministry of Labour and Employment noted that a formal statement will be issued in due course.
