Following the intervention of the Hon. Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige, the National Union of Electricity Employees has ordered its workers to return to work immediately.

The union had following what it termed militarisation/lockout of TCN offices. This consequent upon some unresolved issues in the 2012 agreement, requiring that “labour issues be concluded before the winding down of the headquarters of the PHCN,” directed its members to withdraw their services.

The Labour Minister therefore since last night engaged the officials of the Federal Ministry of Power and the leaders of the National Union of Electricity Employees to separate meetings, hence, the directive by the Union to all its members to return to work immediately.

The directive signed by the General Secretary of the union, Comrade Joe Ajaero reads; “the Hon. Minister of Labour and Employment has intervened in the trade dispute in the power sector in accordance with the relevant section of the Trade Disputes Act, CAP T8, LFN 2004; and scheduled a conciliation meeting for Tuesday, April 26, 2016.”

“In view of this development, the union hereby directs members in TCN to return to work immediately.”

I told them to disconnect my own months ago because I can't be using my generator and still be paying for light. Not now that even the air we breath is expensive.

Does it changes anything?

.

they are always on strike naa

If I could buy a meter recharge Since January nd it's April, I am yet to recharge again means the electricity itself is striking, so of what use is calling off workers strike when electricity strike ve not been called off...

As if that will make any difference...

Who cares? When dem dey work before we get light? They can all resign for all I care.

SO THEM THEY STRIKE WE NO NOTICE AM, AS I AM TYPING THIS POST NA GENERATOR I THEY USE

FOOLISH NEPA

They want to collect salary.
They want to bring bill again.
They want to cut light again
They want us to beg them again

Ope ooo!! My right hand don dey grow muscle from excessive use of hand fan

See dis ignorant being. Una don come again ba?
Your words aint even coherent in any form. Do you know what national grid means? If yes, u won't say d national grid was sold.
Jonathan's administration only sold Power Distribution companies to private owners. Transmission and Generation is still done by the fed govt.
Jonathn left the office close to a year ago. I think tht shud ve been enough time for u and ur pple to stop d blame game.
Power generation improved few weeks after dis administration came into power nd that achievement was credited to Buhari. Now that things in d same sector are happening otherwise, u come here to blame Jonathan
In Jonathan's voice...Fear God!

so they were on strike?

Since when bc we had light all through last night bt the light went off by 1pm and till now (11hrs later) no light

We're they on strike before? No difference so continue the strike
