Soldiers, Police Sack PHCN Offices
A contingent of the Nigerian Army and the police were on Friday deployed to take over the headquarters of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria over a dispute with the Federal Government on their pension.
The soldiers, numbering about 50, stormed the headquarters of PHCN in the early hours of Friday and took strategic positions before workers could resume for work.
When our correspondent visited the place, the soldiers had sealed the entrance to the premises located in Maitama.
The workers were restricted to the street as they were not allowed to enter the building. Some of them converted the ambulance of PHCN to a music station that entertained both staff and passersby.
Chairman of the National Union of Electricity Employees, FCT chapter, Mr. Wisdom Nwachukwu, regretted that soldiers could take over the headquarters of the company during a civilian administration.
He told SATURDAY PUNCH that the soldiers asked any worker that wanted to enter the building to fill a pension form.
Nwachukwu said, “The Federal Government appointed Hassan Sunmonu to mediate between the workers and the government on labour issues before the privatisation of the PHCN successor companies. The last meeting that held last month ended in a deadlock.

First of all I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteI was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing.
I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to
15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure
out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Kudos!

I was mоveԁ enough to ԁrop a comment ;-) I actually do have some questions for уou if it's okay. Is it just me or do a few of these remarks come across as if they are written by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting at additional online social sites, I would like to keep up with you. Could you list all of all your communal pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
