Nigeria In Darkness As PHCN Goes On Strike After NUEE 21 Days Ultimatum

by korevibes December 12, 2019

Following the expiration of the 21 days ultimatum issued by the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) 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, a nationwide blackout is imminent as electricity workers begin indefinite strike Wednesday morning.

According to the Union’s Assistant Secretary General, Anthony Sule, in a statement issued in Jos, the Plateau State capital, as obtained by THISDAY, the union had no option but to commence an indefinite strike since the Minister couldn’t dialogue with the union before the expiration of the ultimatum.

“The ministry of power has failed to resolve some issues affecting members of the union since 2013 when the power sector was privatised especially issues with the over 2,000 disengaged former PHCN workers and their pay off.”

According to him, some of the unresolved issues are illegal transfer of union properties to power investors and the alleged refusal by some distribution companies (DisCos) to remit deducted contributory pension of their members of staff to pension managers.

He added that these issues were contained in a memo to the minister dated November 7, 2019.

THISDAY gathered that other demands of the union includes, unpaid benefits to over 2000 disengaged staff of the defunct Power Holding Company, PHCN, since 2013; underpayment of over 50,000 ex-PHCN staff; payment of half salaries to workers by DISCO’s, and unfair labour practices over unresolved labour issues including alleged refusal by some Distribution Companies in Nigeria, DISCOs, to remit deducted contributory pension fund to workers’ Pension Fund Administrators, PFAs.

In Lagos, the industrial action has been fully implemented and the gates of business premises of NUEE, across all network are currently placed under lock and access is being denied to all electricity workers.

Nigeria President Muhammed Buhari leaves Nigeria For Egypt

by korevibes December 10, 2019

President Muhammadu Buhari Tuesday departed Nigeria for Egypt.

Buhari will be attending the Peace and Development Forum in Aswan, Egypt holding on 11th and 12th of December, 2019.

The President’s departure was disclosed on the verified Twitter handle of the Government of Nigeria.
“Today, President @MBuhari departs Abuja to participate in the Peace and Development Forum in Aswan, Egypt holding on 11th and 12th December 2019. #PMBinEgypt.,” the tweet reads.
DAILY POST had earlier reported Buhari’s planned trip where he would address the interconnections between peace and development in Africa while promoting Africa-led solutions through strengthening policies and practices.
A statement by Buhari’s spokesperson, Femi Adesina had said: “The initiative is being launched by the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in his capacity as the Chairman of the African Union (AU) and as an advocate of Post-Conflict Reconstruction and Development in Africa – a recurring theme of his tenure as the AU Chairman. It is also grounded in the AU’s Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want, and the search for African solutions to African problems.
“The gathering is expected to bring together heads of state and government, leaders from regional and international organizations, financial institutions, private sector, and civil societies as well as scholars, visionaries and prominent experts for action-oriented discussions on the threats, challenges, and opportunities.
“It is also expected to end with a Declaration on the theme of the Forum and become an annual event.
“Recall that the Speaker of Egypt’s House of Representatives, Ali Abdel Aal had delivered President el-Sisi’s message to President Buhari in Abuja on October 28, 2019 inviting him to the inaugural Aswan Forum.”
Adesina added that, “The President will be accompanied by Governors Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa, Godwin Obaseki of Edo and Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State.
“Others are Minister of Defence, Gen. Bashir Magashi (Rtd); Minister of State, Foreign Affairs, Amb. Zubairu Dada; National Security Adviser, Maj-Gen Babagana Monguno (Rtd); and the Director-General, National Intelligence Agency, Amb. Ahmed Rufai Abubakar.”
President Buhari is expected back in Abuja on Friday.
