Workers give ultimatum on monetisation
Electricity workers, on Thursday, gave the Federal Government a 14-day
ultimatum to pay the arrears of their monetised benefits. The workers,
under the aegis of the Senior Staff Association of Electricity and
Allied Companies (SSAEAC), and the National Union of Electricity
Employees (NUEE), gave the ultimatum in a statement, in Lagos, signed
by SSAEAC’s President, Bede Opara, and NUEE’s General Secretary, Joe
Ajaero. They threatened to throw the country into total darkness if at
the end of the ultimatum the government failed to settle the arrears.
“If by July 25 the government and the management of PHCN fails to
address all the three issues, we will shut down electricity supply
nationwide,” stated the workers.
