This is coming barely one month after the national grid collapsed; a development that put the country into blackout that caused huge damage to preserved dairies and other perishable food stuff.

The National Union of Electricity Employees, NUEE, as a prelude to the strike, the aggrieved workers are scheduled to picket the Abuja national Headquarters of TCN Tuesday.

Joe Ajaero, the General Secretary of NUEE, in a circular titled “Call for Action”, to Senior Assistant General Secretaries and Zonal Organising Secretaries dated August 15, 2022, the Union directed all members to ensure total compliance.
