Reps intervene to forestall electricity workers’ strike

NIGERIA NEWS,Concerned about the threat of a national power outage, the House of Representatives on Wednesday resolved to wade into the ongoing dispute between the federal government and the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE).

The Union had on November 7 petitioned the Ministry of Power, the distribution companies (DISCOs), and generation companies (GENCOs) over unpaid pensions of 2,000 disengaged staff of the defunct Power Holding Company (PHCN) since 2013.

Subsequently, it issued a 21-day ultimatum to the federal government with a threat to embark on strike afterwards.
