 SENATE ADJOURNS EMERGENCY PLENARY ON STATE POLICE OVER REP’S DEATH. The Senate today suspended consideration of the highly anticipated State Police Bill and all other legislative business at its emergency plenary session to honour the memory of Hon.

Kaduna Faces Possible Blackout As Electricity Workers Issue 7-Day Ultimatum


The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) has given the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company a seven-day ultimatum to resume negotiations over the recent issuance of "service no longer required" letters to some staff.


In a statement, NUEE’s Zonal Organising Secretary for the North West, Ayuba Pukat, accused the management of disregarding previous discussions and proceeding with the termination letters.

The strike was suspended following Governor Uba Sani’s intervention, with an agreement for further negotiations. However, the union now claims the management has failed to uphold its part of the deal.


With the fresh ultimatum issued, industrial action looms once again, threatening power supply in Kaduna if negotiations are not reopened.
