General Secretary, National Union of Electricity Employees, Mr. Joe Ajaero
Power Holding Company of Nigeria workers have said that the N170bn the Federal Government says it is ready to pay as severance package to them is grossly inadequate.
.The Secretary-General, National Union of Electricity Employees, Mr. Joe Ajaero, told our correspondent that the agreement reached with the government never meant that all issues had been resolved. He noted that the government had also contradicted itself by saying it would pay about N170bn to the workers whereas the sum demanded by the workers was in excess of N500bn.
He said, “The very fact that an agreement is signed doesn’t mean the problem is over, it is the implementation that will determine the end of the problem. Besides, the mention of N170bn by the Ministry of Power as the money provided for the settlement of staff entitlements clearly portrays them as people who have made up their minds to truncate the process.
