Electricity workers frustrate Jonathan's plans for power sector

Martin Ayankola


Power Holding Company of Nigeria Plc's workers are preventing the Professor Barth Nnaji-led Presidential Task Force on Power from discharging some of its duties, our correspondent has learnt.
It was gathered on Monday that although Nnaji's committee wanted to have an office in PHCN's headquarters in Abuja, the workers prevented it from doing so, as they barred members of the committee from the headquarters.

An attempt by Nnaji's team to also inspect PHCN's facilities in Lagos on Friday was met with stiff resistance by the workers, who allegedly drove the members from the Ijora facilities.

It was also gathered that the workers had physically prevented members of the committee from entering the company's facilities at the Ikeja Distribution Zone.

"We had bought bags of sachet water, with which we would have drenched him, if he had been bold enough to show his face at the Ikeja Distribution Zone,"one of the National Union of Electricity Employees' leaders told to our correspondent on Friday.

All attempts to get Nnaji to comment on the situation proved abortive, as he told our correspondent on the telephone that he could only be available for comments on Thursday.

Where then lies the federal might or are the prisons too full to admit some few recalcitrant progress-obstructing individuals? Why would the government keep its arm fold while some no-gooders would continue to sabotage its efforts?

Jonathan should apprehend all of them and lock em in Kuje Prison.

The useless electricity workers benefit from the epileptic power supply so they wouldn't want the sector to improve.
Constant electricity means they can no longer be bribed to switch ON/OFF power in many areas as they usually do.
Buncha retards!!!

You are too lenient with them by recommending Kuje Prison, Gashua would be more fitting for them.
