The Kano chapter of the National Electricity Employees (NUEE), Monday shuts Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO), over non remittance of pension fund for six months
Comrade Ado Riruwai, the Northwest Chairman of the union, who led the action against the Kano power firm, said that the Electricity union cannot fold its arm against unjustifiable withholding of pensions fund by KEDCO authorities.
He described the decision of the electricity company to victimize the union leaders, who spoke against the unwarranted non remittance as “unfair ”
“The part chosen by KEDCO on this matter to say the least amount to imperialism and wickedness”, he added.
He maintained that issues at stake are inalienable rights of workers as enshrined in the Nigeria Constitution”, stressing that “to victimized anybody who wants his freedom at works is simply awful and wicked”.
He further accused the company of failure to provide medicare for workers, despite hazard associated with the job.
