Electricity workers in Nigeria, represented by the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) have planned a strike against the removal of fuel subsidy by the federal government.

NUEE revealed its intention to join the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in the strike action.

The development was contained in a memo signed by the general secretary of NUEE, Dominic Igwebike.

The strike was scheduled to commence on Wednesday and the nation will experience a blackout as well.

According to the memo, the above was because the planned strike will involve electricity employees across the country withdrawing their services by midnight on Wednesday.

The memo read:

Sequel to the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Emergency National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held on June 2. 2023 at the Labour House Abuja, over the sudden removal of fuel subsidy, which has brought untold hardship to Nigerians as well as increased inflation in the economy, the NLC has directed that the nationwide withdrawal of Services action will commence on Wednesday, June 7, 2023.

“Please note that withdrawal of Services nationwide commences from 0.00 hours of Wednesday, June 7, 2023″
