Electricity workers at the Jebba Hydro Power Plant in Niger State under the aegis of the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) are at logger heads with the management of Mainstream Energy over alleged sack and victimisation of workers. The union members held a protest in front of the power plant to demand the unionisation of their workers and recall of sacked workers.

Armed with placards with various inscriptions condemning the attitude of management towards their workers, the union leaders say they have decided to occupy the power plant until their demands are met. They also alleged that there is no condition of service at the plant thereby subjecting workers to victimisation and eventual sack.

 

Some of the workers were brutalised during the protest by some security guards of the plant. The management of Mainstream Energy Solution, owners of the Jebba Hydro Power Plant in Niger state have not responded to enquiries made by vigil360.
