Resist take-over of PHCN’s power installations, NUEE tells members

The National Union of Electricity
Employees, NUEE, has called on its members to
resist forceful take over of power installations
belonging to the Power Holding Company of
Nigeria, PHCN, by the new owners in the
country unless, their severance allowances were settled by the Federal Government. The General Secretary of the union, Mr Joe
Ajaero, gave the directive while addressing
members of the union from the North-West
Zone in Kaduna yesterday. Ajaero, who spoke through the Assistant
General Secretary of NUEE, Moses Ahmedu,
said the directive became imperative following
alleged moves by the government to handover
on paper, all PHCN facilities to investors
without conclusively resolving labour and other related issues. His words: ‘’This action would be suicidal on our
part if we allowed the investors access to any
of our facilities while the issues remain
unresolved by the government, especially as
they appear to be reneging.”
