FG Approves Payment Of PHCN Staff

Efforts to clear the huddles hampering the successful privatization of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) appears to be yielding fruit, as the Federal Government has approved the immediate payment of the agreed entitlements of the staff of the PHCN.
Briefing state house correspondents after the Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja, the Minister of Labour; Emeka Wogu enjoined the labour union in the power sector to work closely with the government to ensure steady power supply to Nigerians.
The disagreement between the ministry of power and the electricity workers over the payment of entitlements had slowed the privatization process due to threats of industrial action by the workers.
