The staff of Ikeja Electric are not on strike as is being falsely reported in various news outlets, rather they have been prevented by the protesting Labour Unions from gaining access to the facilities and are therefore, not in a position to provide any consistent services to their customers.

Labour Unions are picketing in their facilities over the 229 former staff that were asked to leave the organisation after failing to meet satisfactory scores during a recently concluded competency evaluation exercise.

The staff of the company are ready to go back to their work stations and continue to provide quality service delivery to the customers like they have been trained to do.

The company also said they are seeking the intervention of the government and industry stakeholders to find a lasting and amicable solution to the Labour dispute.
