Blackout looms as electricity workers begin strike in Kaduna

Kaduna state residents may soon experience a blackout as electricity workers in the state have been directed to withdraw their services from Wednesday midnight.

The directive was issued in a memo signed by the union’s zonal organising secretary for the north west zone.

The union explained that the strike became necessary due to the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company’s failure to uphold the previous agreement.

The memo read, “It is clear that Kaduna Electric is not ready to change from the provocative method of selective payment of salary contrary to the provision of the company’s condition of service. In the same vein, failed to implement agreement reached with the management concerning workers of the company.
