ELECTRICITY WORKERS PLAN SHOWDOWN IN POWER SECTOR

The Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Company (SSAEAC) has planned to shut down the power sector over alleged breakdown of law and order by Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Usman Gur Mohammed.

The senior staff electricity workers alleged that the TCN boss has become a security threat and lawbreaker and does not comply with the TCN condition of service and the laws, adding that he arrogantly and illegally stopped SSAEAC dues and defied all agencies of governments intervention.

The union, at its national executive committee meeting at the weekend, alleged Mohammeds failure to account for monies and goods received since assumption of duty, stating that since his appointment, he had cleared over 600 40-feet containers of equipment from the seaports without record of receipts in TCN stores. President-General of SSAEAC, Chris Okonkwo, who, therefore, called on the Federal Government to hold the MD of TCN responsible for breakdown of law and order in all TCN stations, demanded his removal within two weeks to avert indefinite industrial show down in the power sector.
