Electricity Workers Threaten Strike over Sack of their President
The Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies has expressed displeasure over the retirement of their President-General, Chris Okonkwo, by the Managing Director of Transmission Company of Nigeria , Mr. Usman Gur Mohammed.
The managing director of TCN had in a letter dated April 24, 2020, terminated Okonkwo’s appointment as General Manager, Special Duties and President General of SSAEAC from the services of TCN under the impression that his contract had lapsed since June 11, 2018. But the union said the purported retirement was fraudulent as the SSAEAC president is a career officer and not a political appointee like the managing director.
