Electricity workers demand a review of the privatization programme “without further delay”

Led by the Nigeria Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) and its Secretary General, Mr. Joe Ajaero, electricity workers shut down Ikeja Electric over meter hoarding, worker mistreatment, and to demand a review of the privatization programme “without further delay” for “having failed to deliver on its promises.” The “enraged” electricity workers, who barricaded the IE headquarters, “had alleged, among others, the arbitrary dismissal of workers without consultations with the union, poor welfare, uneven salary structure, adoption of anti-labour policies and frustration of the implementation of service conditions.”
