(Reuters) – Nigeria’s Dangote oil refinery said on Friday it had laid off some of its workers, citing sabotage in various units, noting that only a small number of staff were affected.
More than 3,000 Nigerian staff continue to work for the refinery, the statement added.
The refinery is the biggest in Africa by far with crude processing capacity of 650,000 barrels per day.
Reuters reported earlier that the refinery had laid off some workers.
