NUEE gives Kaduna Electric 7-day ultimatum over dispute, threatens to withdraw services
By Abdullahi Mukhtar Algasgaini
The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) has issued a 7-day ultimatum to Kaduna Electric and threatened to withdraw its services entirely due to ongoing disputes, including the issuance of ‘service no longer required’ notices to several affected staff members.
Despite intervention from the Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani, the situation remains unresolved and left employees and the public in a state of uncertainty.
The NUEE has made it clear that unless their concerns are addressed within the stipulated timeframe, they will take further action.
The potential withdrawal of services could result in power outages affecting residents across Kaduna, Kebbi, Zamfara, and Sokoto states, who are already bracing for another possible blackout.
As the deadline approaches, all eyes are on Kaduna Electric and the state government to find a resolution before the situation escalates.
