NIGERIA (Lagos)- The President General of the Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies, Mr. Bode Opara, has confirmed that the remaining disengaged electricity workers had received their severance package.

He disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Thursday, adding that members of the association had been receiving the payment alerts from Monday.

“The issue of few workers collecting this week and the others waiting for another two months should be out of it.

“Federal Government should urge the Bureau of Public Enterprises and the Accountant General to fast track the remaining payments.

“The situation of the payment will determine if the disengaged electricity workers will protest next month or not,” he said.

According to him, the association would continue to fight until the last disengaged worker received his money.

It would be recalled that defunct PHCN workers, on Jan. 13, staged rallies in different parts of the country to protest the delay in the payment of their severance package.
