Power sector workers under the aegis of the National Union of Electricity Employees made their position known in a letter issued by the General Secretary, NUEE, Joe Ajaero, to the vice presidents of states and administrative councils chapter secretaries of the union.
He stated that electricity workers would join in the protest to kick against the prolonged closure of tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
Power industry stakeholders believe that the participation electricity workers in the two-day protest might cause some instability to the recuperating power sector.
Nigeria’s power sector recently witnessed a grid collapse that led to the
crash of power generation from over 3,900 megawatts to 3MW, a development that caused blackouts across the country.
