Relief As Electricity Workers Suspend Nationwide Strike
The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) has suspended its one-day strike action embarked upon on Wednesday to draw federal government’s attention to the plight of its members
The calling-off of the one day strike was due to a meeting held with officials of the federal government and the union.

General Secretary, NUEE, Joe Ajaero in a statement said, “Following the agreement reached between NUEE and representatives of Government this morning, on all the issues in contention, the Union wishes to suspend the industrial action it embarked upon to press home these demands.
“Consequently, members are urged to return to their duty posts while we monitor the implementation of these agreements. We would not hesitate to resume action if the agreements are not implemented.”
It would be recalled that the Union had issued a 21 days ultimatum to the Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, to implement their demands, and the failure of the minister to dialogue with the union before the ultimatum which lapsed midnight Tuesday.
The strike action led to the shutting down of most of the offices of Distribution Companies (Discos) across the country.
