PHCN Workers Move To Disrupt Electricity Supply in the Country

By on November 1, 2012

Studying Without Power

The union leaders of Power Holdings Company of Nigeria (PHCN) have begun to assemble its workers to disturb efforts by investors who want to take over the company.

 

This development was revealed by the President of the Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies (SSAEAC), Comrade Bede Opara during a press briefing yesterday.

 

He said, “We are mobilizing our workers from all over the states in case any investors want to take over the facilities without paying us our severance and gratuity.”

 

“We will resist such attempt and, by today (yesterday), we will inform Kaduna workers and others to prepare their minds in case of any attempt of investors to commence operation.”

 

It will be recalled that SSAEAC earlier warned the Federal Government that its refusal to conclude discussions on the payment of severance, gratuity, and pensions to employees of PHCN will have serious implications as the new investors will not be allowed to take over the company if not all pending issues are resolved.
