The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) has announced that their workers will participate in the planned strike against the removal of fuel subsidy by the federal government, alongside the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
If the electricity workers proceed with their planned strike on Wednesday, the nation is likely to experience a power outage, reports GMTNews.
The General Secretary of NUEE, Dominic Igwebike, has confirmed this information through a memo.
According to the memo issued by Dominic Igwebike, NUEE is taking part in the nationwide strike action directed by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), following the removal of fuel subsidy by the federal government. The strike action is expected to commence on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, due to the adverse effects it has brought upon the Nigerian people.
