The Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) workers’ union yesterday temporarily hindered the access of the Permanent Secretary, Mrs. Dere Awosika into the premises at Maitama.
However, the intervention of the Managing Director, Hussein Labo, saved the day.
The Nation however, learnt that Awosika, who was due for retirement yesterday, stopped at the Transition Company of Nigeria section of the PHCN, where the PHCN boss eventually met with her.
The uprising, according to a source, was intended to ascertain the mission of the Permanent Secretary, who was in company of the Managing Director of the Nigeria Electricity Liability Management Company (NELMCO), Sam Agbogun.
The source said: “We allowed them into the premise after the PHCN Managing Director explained to us that the Permanent Secretary decided to come over, since she is retiring today (yesterday) and there was no work at the Federal Secretariat (due to the Armed Forces remembrance day celebration) to brief him on the modalities she has put in place for the payment of PHCN staff salaries.
