Electricity workers to go on strike on Wednesday, August 17
Since “organized labor in the power sector has threatened to start on an indefinite strike over outstanding labor disputes with the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN,” there may be a statewide blackout.
According to GIOTV, the National Union of Electricity Employees, NUEE, has agreed to picket the TCN national headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday, August 16, as a prelude to the strike.
In a circular by the General Secretary of NUEE, Joe Ajaero, titled “Call for Action”, to Senior Assistant General Secretaries and Zonal Organising Secretaries dated August 15, 2022, the Union directed them to ensure total compliance of the strike.
