The decision is coming after President Goodluck Jonathan last night directed the minister power (state), Nuhu Wya, to strike a deal with the dissenting workers.
The Abuja Zonal secretary of the company, Temple Iworima, confirmed that its representatives met with Mr. Wya and added that there were conditions to the agreement. The terms of the agreement are that 20,000 members of verified PHCN staff will be paid monetization arrears starting from today, August 26th. The payment process is to last no longer than one week from today after which the PHCN will review and address the problem areas.
Mr. Iworima warned that there could still be further industrial action if the Federal Government fails to honour its own side of the agreement. It is expected that power installations will be switched back on when normal office duties resume in PHCN offices across the country this morning..
