Staff at the Dangoté Sugar Refinery PLC are being Warned to stop Chewing the Company’s Sugar Cane meant to Produce Sugar
Employees of Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc (Numan Operations) have been issued a final warning against the chewing of company sugar cane within factory premises.
In an official circular dated April 7, 2026, the Human Resources Department emphasized that the act of chewing sugar cane intended for production constitutes gross misconduct and could lead to serious disciplinary action.
According to the notice, the sugar cane is company property with significant production value, and its misuse directly affects operational efficiency.
