NEPA/PHCN: Blackout Across Nigeria Sparks Rumours Of strike

Published

on

The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) on Wednesday began a nationwide strike to protest alleged dismissal of their colleagues without payment of terminal benefits among other grievances.

Electricity distribution companies (DisCos) subsequently announced disruption of their services.

While some parts of the country received electricity supply early Wednesday, a large part of the country had not had electricity supply since Tuesday.

However, Nigerians on Twitter have begun to express worry over the situation, saying it is the least they expect going into the Yuletide season.

PHCN shutdown power all over the country and Dictator Buhari is less concerned while the people’s president in SA is cancelling trip over electricity crisis.

That’s the difference.
