PHCN/NLC May Go On Strike NextWeek

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has planned to embark on a Nationwide strike starting from next week Wednesday, after the Sallah Celebration, in support to the demands of the staffs of PHCN for unfair treatment it received by  Ministry of Power  and the Federal Government.



The Nigeria Labour Congress said it has concluded arrangements to call workers in the country out on industrial action as solidarity with workers of the Power holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, who it said, were being unfairly treated by Ministry of Power over their stand that the right things be done before the planned privatisation of the PHCN by the Federal Government.

It said it had set up strike mobilisation committees across the country preparatory to the planned strike which it said, would commence immediately if there was deadlock in their meeting with the government on Wednesday, next week.

Abeg o, no be say we dey get light like that, but make PHCN no go on strike biko.

DAY 5: Meeting between FG and Labour ends in Deadlock

The meeting held yesterday behind closed doors between Labour parties and the Federal Government ended in deadlock. The two parties could not reach an agreement and so the strike continues. Another meeting would be held tomorrow, Saturday.

We hope GEJ’s Government will do what Nigerians are demanding and also remove fuel subsidy, so we can continue with our day to day activities. It’s bad enough we are in darkness now and most people have started complaining about being broke.
