Transmission Company of Nigeria have shut down Nigeria's National grid in line with NLC Nationwide strike



Electricity workers have shut down the national grid following the declaration of an indefinite strike by organised labour unions – the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria.


The spokesperson for Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, Ndidi Mbah, in an interview with Daily Post on Tuesday said electricity workers, the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE), followed directives of the Nigeria Labour Congress had withdrawn their services around 11:20am on Tuesday, which would result in nationwide blackout.



“Electricity workers are NLC members; they’ve followed the directive by organised labour to withdraw their services from Tuesday”, she stated.


Some parts of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and its environs are already experiencing a blackout.

Recall that the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress announced a nationwide indefinite strike starting Tuesday despite a court order restraining the unions from doing so.


Reacting to the development, the Presidency, in a statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information & Strategy, said strike action by unions was a flagrant disobedience to court order and a lack of respect for the judiciary Accordingly, the government expressed displeasure that the nation’s economy and social activities should not suffer because of the personal interest of any labour leader.
