NUEE (PHCN WORKERS) gives FG 14 days ultimatum

THE Federal Government ongoing reform in the power sector may, in the next few days, suffer a setback, as the National Union of Electricity Employee (NUEE)  has  given  the government a 14-day ultimatum to complete the biometric reconciliation, as well as stop misinforming the general public over payment of staff emoluments, when activities for the regularisation of casuals is yet to be completed.

In a statement by NUEE, signed by its general secretary, Joe Ajaero and made available to the Nigerian Tribune on Sunday, labour said it hoped to commence industrial action on March 15, except the regularisation was completed before the date.

The electricity workers also condemned in its entirety, the word used by the Federal Government referring to Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) staff as sacked workers and unanimously agreed that if the phrase was not retracted, they would have no alternative but to stop work, as “sacked workers are not supposed to report for duty.”

According to the NUEE president, Mansur Musa, the NEC-session condemned the scrapping of PHCN Corporate Headquarters through the back door, which had been reflected in intent.
