Workers Tell Buhari: Privatisation Of PHCN is a Fraud
In apparent response to the statement made by the out-going minister of power, Professor Chinedu Nebo, on the need for the in-coming administration not to tamper with the privatization of the power sector, electricity workers in the country have demanded a thorough review of the privatization of Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, alle-ging that the privatization project was fraught with irregularities.
The workers further alleged that the privatisation exercise had made
electricity generation and consumption in the country ineffective.
The workers, under the aegis of National Union of Electricity
Emplo-yees, NUEE, insisted that the payment of over N200 billion to the
private sector by the government after the privatization exercise leaves
much to be desired, and urged the incoming administration of Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari, rtd, to revisit the exercise.
The executive members of the union, led by the General Secretary and
factional President of Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, Comrade Joe
Ajaero, said this in Abuja, while conducting select journalists round
the site of abandoned 60 containers of 52KVA electricity transformers,
at Kubwa, in Abuja.
