The National Electricity Workers Union closed the Kano Electricity Distribution Company headquarters on Post Office Road in the metropolitan area on Tuesday morning (today) in observance of the two-day warning strike called by the Nigeria Labour Congress.
Recall that on August 31, 2023, at the conclusion of its meeting, the National Executive Council of the NLC decided to start a two-day warning strike.
The union gave the order for all of its affiliated members to go on strike starting on Tuesday, May 5, and ending on Wednesday, May 6, 2023.
The goal of the strike is to express disapproval of the Federal Government’s decision to remove fuel subsidies without properly consulting important parties.
Not only that, but it has also declined to offer appropriate and practical ways to mitigate the financial blow of the elimination of subsidies.
The development was confirmed by Sani Bala, Head of Corporate Communications at KEDCO, upon being approached. She stated that it fully complies with the instruction from the NLC.
