Kaduna state is suffering power failure due to the industrial action embarked upon by the electricity workers in support of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), the management of Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company has said.
The electricity workers of Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) under the aegis of Nigeria Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE), embarked on the strike in accordance with the instruction of NLC to commence five days warning strike by midnight of Sunday.
“The management of Kaduna Electric regret to inform its customers in Kaduna state that the service interruption currently being experienced in the state is as a result of the industrial action embarked upon by NLC.
“In compliance with the NLC directive, the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN has knocked off all our 33KV lines in Kaduna state.
“We are appealing to all communities, security agencies and vigilante groups to be vigilant so that men of underworld will not cash in on the situation to vandalise power supply installations. Any suspicious movement around distribution sub-stations (transformers) or any other power supply infrastructure should be reported to the relevant security agency.
“We have the collective responsibility to protect these critical national assets in our neighborhood,” the statement added.
