Blackout looms as electricity workers threaten to begin strike on Wednesday

Electricity supply crisis might worsen from Wednesday, as Organized Labour has directed workers in the power sector to commence an indefinite strike over pending labour issues with the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).

The threat is coming barely one month after the last national grid collapse.

As a prelude to the strike, the aggrieved workers under the aegis of National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) plan to picket the Abuja National Headquarters of TCN on Tuesday.

In a circular by the General Secretary of NUEE, Comrade 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.
