AS the Federal Government races against time to handover the assets of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, to private sector investors amidst unclear position on how to handle the workforce, General Secretary of the National Union of Electricity Employees, NUEE, Comrade Ajaero in this interview with Labour Vanguard, said the issue of terminating the employment of the workers is of less importance to staff. Excerpts
THERE are insinuations that a lot of PHCN workers will lose their jobs once the new investors take over the assets of PHCN. How prepared are you to deal with the challenge?
Well, when we started negotiation, they came up with a committee on rationalization. We told them not to waste their time with that committee because we would not serve in the committee since every worker is going. So, if everybody is going why will form a committee to sack few people? So, the committee has been wasting time because it does not make sense.
