Electricity sector workers in the Republic of Nigeria, on Monday, began picketing at the premises of Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) and its facilities.

The industrial action, which was announced by the senior staff Association of Electricity And Allied Company and National Union of Electricity Employees, is intended to get some staff’s grievances resolved.

The workers are accusing the authorities for failing to pay their 2019/2020 (13 months) salary, mileage allowances, shift allowance, selective implementation of conditions of service, as well as failure to provide adequate working tools or logistics.
