The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has appealed to electricity workers to suspend their proposed strike .
Managing director, TCN, Sule Abdulaziz made the appeal in a letter addressed to the workers on Tuesday.
The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) had directed its members to picket the offices of TCN on Tuesday, after which a strike action would commence on Wednesday.
But in the letter, Abdulaziz asked the union to “stay action”, assuring that TCN had taken steps to resolve the issues.
We are pleased to inform you that management has suspended the proposed interview for those on acting appointment of assistant general, managers and general managers while we conclude discussion with the board,” the letter reads.
“On the other two issues — circular from the office of head of service on stigmatisation of the defunct PHCN staff and payment of entitlement of ex-PHCN staff by market operator — the management has contacted the honourable minister of power for his further action.
“In view of this development, we appeal to your union to stay action; please accept the assurances of our highest regards.”
