File photo of Workers protest at PHCN headquarters: Govet need $3.2billion to pay severance package
General Secretary of the National Union of Electricity Employees, Joe Ajaero, made this known Saturday during an interactive session with newsmen in Lagos.
Ajaero said that of the amount, N400 billion would required for workers’ gratuity, while N100 billion would be used to pay pension arrears.
He said that it was not the Ministry of Power that should announce what the Federal Government would disburse as severance package to PHCN workers.
The general secretary said that the Bureau of Public Enterprise (BPE) was in a better position to announce the cost of settlement.
He said it was regrettable that in industrial relation practice, implementing an agreement was always a major problem, after all issues had been resolved.
He expressed the hope that in 2013, the entitlement of the workers would be paid to enable Nigerians enjoy the expected 5000 mega watts of electricity
