Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Government has paid all entitlements of the workers of Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC).<\/p>\n

A recent industrial action shut down the company\u2019s facilities and disrupted power across Abuja, Kogi, Nasarawa and Niger states.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the Ministry of Power announced the fulfilment of its promise to ensure that the matter was resolved.<\/p>\n

Minister of Power, Abubakar Aliyu said the intervention was in respect of a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) and others concerned.<\/p>\n

His spokesman, Isa Sanusi, listed the entitlements settled as \u201cunpaid allowances, salaries, union deductions and unremitted 20 months pensions contributions deducted from salaries\u201d.<\/p>\n

Aliyu reaffirmed the commitment of the ministry to work with all stakeholders \u201cto ensure steady electricity supply\u201d across Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The minister promised that the Federal Government will continue to work in accordance with extant rules and guidelines for stability in the industry.<\/p>\n

In December 2021, the ministry appealed to the AEDC workers and organized labour to end the electricity shutdown, with a vow to resolve the matter in early January.<\/p>\n

The strike coincided with changes in the company, particularly the interim management appointment endorsed by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) and Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE).<\/p>\n

President Muhammadu Buhari suspended the AEDC management last month and made new appointments.<\/p>\n
