PHCN Workers To Earn Between N8million To N40million As Severance Package by Nobody: 11:36am On Mar 27, 2013 |
** BPE, PHCN workers in final negotiation THE Bureau of Public Enterprises, BPE, and representatives of Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, workers have entered the final phase of negotiations towards an amicable settlement of the workers’ terminal benefits. The benefits and rationalisation committee is overseeing the payment of about N384 billion package for about 50,000 workers of the PHCN. It was learnt that from the last staff verification conducted by the Federal Government in conjunction with the workers’ union, there were 10, 000 casual workers, while the permanent staff were a little less than 40, 000. Presidency sources said $ 2.6billion (about N408 billion) would be realized from a successful privatization of the 15 successor companies of the PHCN and as such, virtually the proceeds from the privatization of PHCN would be expended on settling workers’ entitlements. “What it means is that virtually the public investment in PHCN will now go to its workers in the name of paying entitlements. In spite of that we believe that it is in the interest of thenation to free the power sector from those who have held it down for many decades, the cost to the public, notwithstanding”, the source said. The source said with the investors already making good their bids for the successor companies, the government has decided to ensure a seamless takeover of the companies upon the completion of final payments expected within the next three months. The severance package for the PHCN workers will see them going home with between N8 million to as much as about N40 million, depending on the qualifications, positions and length of service. Meanwhile, the union is likely to earn more than N3.5 billion in check-off dues fromthe severance package of thePHCN workers. It was learnt that the union received about N520 million in check-off dues from N47 billion arrears earlier paid to the workers. “As at March 21, 2013, BPE had received $559,445,573.96 from 14 bidders for 15 successor companies”, the agency’s Head of Public Communications, Mr. Chigbo Anichebe, had said. The BPE said it received $31million from four Power Consortium, being the mandatory 25 percent of the bid value for Port-Harcourt Distribution Company; $31.5 million from Interstate Electrics Limited; being the mandatory 25 percent of the bid value for Enugu Distribution Company; and $27,913,633.50 from North-South Power Company; being the mandatory 25 percent of the bid value for Shiroro Power Plc. Eleven bidders for the successor companies of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, had by Wednesday, last week, paid the sum $469, 031,940.46 (about N73, 638, 014, 580 billion). Bidders that paid on Wednesday were: Vigeo Consortium, the preferred bidder for Benin Distribution Company, which paid USD$32.25million, being the mandatory 25 percent of the bid value of the Benin Disco; Transcorp/Woodrock Consortium that paid $75 million; being 25 % of the bid value for Ughelli Power Plc; CMEC/EUAFRIC Energy JV paid $50,249,965; being 25% of the bid value for Sapele Power Plc; Kann Consortium paid $41 million; being 25 % of the bid value for Abuja Distribution Company; Aura Energy paid$20,464,968.15;being 25 % of the bid value for Jos Distribution Company; Mainstream Energy Ltd paid $59,467,500, being 25 % of the bid value for Kainji Power Plc; and Sahelian Power SPV which paid $34.25million; being 25 % of the bid value for Kano Distribution Company.

Sure and steady wins the race. These workers never wanted progress. The development was initiated by Obj but progressed rapidly to almost completion under Gej. Very soon by God's grace what happened in the telecom sector would happen many fold in the power sector. May God continue to work for all those who wants this country to move to the promise land 3 Likes |

The privitization proceed money to be used to pay off the PHCN won't be a lost money, they are still going to spend it in nigeria economy, they are fathers,brothers, sisters,aunties,uncles,neigbours, customers of us one way or the other! They will buy cars, lands, laptops, go shopping, pay school fees and finally start up business which will employ people. At the same time they will take their witch body comot that sector they have bedeviled for yrs, even though d good ones will still be needed in d industry. So it is a win win situation 2 Likes |
