The Federal Government has concluded the process of giving employment to about 20,000 casual workers of Power Holding Companies of Nigeria (PHCN), thus raising hope for preparation and payment of severance benefits to workers in the power sector.
The accurate computation and payment of the benefits are also preconditions for the successful handover of the 15 Electricity Generation Companies (GENCOs) and Electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOs) to preferred bidders.
Investigations showed that while many got their letters from the PHCN after the clearance of the Ministry of Power, the last set of about 3,000 workers who had some issues were cleared by the government technical committee last week
A member of the committee, who preferred not to be named, said: “We reviewed many cases before approving that about 3,000 more casual workers be given their letters of employment.
