SENIOR Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies, SSAEAC, is not finding Federal Government’s announcement that N384 billion will be used to settle the terminal benefits of workers of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, ahead of the privatization of PHCN’s assets, funny.
The association has not only rejected it like its National Union of Electricity Employees, NUEE counterpart, but went further to petition the Minister of Power, reminding the Government that labour, only gave conditional support to the planned privatization of the sector.
SSAEAC in the petition through its President-General and General Secretary, Engineer Bede Opara and Biodun Ogunsegha, a lawyer, warned government that if it went ahead with the process of privatization without carrying labour along, it would be definitely counter- productive.
