The Dangote Oil Refinery Board has denied a report published on social media that said the company hired 11,000 skilled workers from India instead of hiring young people from Nigeria and other African countries.
In his response, the Chief Public Relations Officer of the company, Anthony Chiejina, said the report was written maliciously because it did not show the number of skilled Nigerians working at the refinery, as reported by kanempress.
He said, the size of the project requires specialized workers from all over the world, and more than 30,000 Nigerians are among the skilled workers who have been hired since the construction of the refinery started. 6,400 Indians work while about 3,250 Chinese are employed in the Dangote oil refinery.
He also said that the Nigerians working at the refinery are showing great skill because of the wisdom and talent that God has given them.
He advised the public to ignore such unscrupulous reports and instead focus on the benefits that the project could bring to the economy as a whole and the well-being of Nigerians seeing how the Dangote group is enjoying ahead of being at the forefront of creating jobs for the youth in Nigeria.
