According to the statement, \u201cthe Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN has knocked off all our 33KV lines in Kaduna State.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alhaji Abdul-Azeez further appealed to all communities, security agencies and vigilante groups to be vigilant so that men of the underworld would not take the advantage of the situation to vandalise power supply installations.<\/p>\n

The statement reads: \u201cAny suspicious movement around distribution sub-stations (transformers) should be reported to the relevant security agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the collective responsibility to protect these critical national assets in our neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe once again appeal to both parties in the dispute to strive at an amicable resolution for normalcy to return, the statement declared.\u201d<\/p>\n

So far no fewer than 15 unions have indicated their interest to join the strike in solidarity with the Kaduna workers.<\/p>\n

DAILYPOST recalls that five days ago, the National leadership of the electricity union had directed its members to withdraw its services based on the directives of the Congress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
