The national grid in Nigeria has been forced to a halt due to an extended strike proclaimed by organized labor organizations, resulting in a nationwide blackout. On Tuesday, Ndidi Mbah, the spokesperson for the Nigerian Transmission Company, confirmed this development.<\/p>\n
The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE), in alignment with the directives of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), initiated the withdrawal of their services around 11:20 am on Monday. This coordinated action has led to a sweeping power outage, impacting various regions of the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cElectricity workers are NLC members; they\u2019ve followed the directive by organized labour to withdraw their services from Tuesday,\u201d Mbah stated.<\/p>\n
The repercussions of the strike are acutely felt in the Federal Capital Territory and its surroundings, where residents are grappling with a widespread blackout.<\/p>\n
It’s noteworthy that the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress proceeded with the nationwide indefinite strike, commencing on Tuesday, despite a court order that had restrained the unions from taking such action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
