Fail Agreement: Electricity workers to shut down national grid The workers of the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) have threatened to resume their industrial action by shutting down the national power grid again. Recall that on August 17, many parts of the country experienced a total power outage as electricity workers led by Joe Ajaero downed tools over an industrial impasse about the promotion of senior officers, among other agitations. The striking union agreed to suspend the strike after a meeting with the Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige. The stakeholders at the meeting agreed to set up a high-power delegation to look into issues brought up by the NUEE and report back within two weeks. The workers now issued another threat on Thursday, for shutting down the national power grid if the President Muhammadu Buhari regime fails to honour the agreement it made with the union. While Dukat Ayuba, the union’s zonal organising secretary, North-West, addressing journalists in Kaduna on Thursday said the two weeks ultimatum given to the federal government to resolve the crisis had elapsed.
