According to NAN, all workers, including management staff, were forced out of the premises of the firm’s headquarters., the management of KEDCO, said the picketing of its offices by the NUEE, is a result of “lingering staff welfare issues which accumulated over the last six years”.
The electricity firm assured that “a robust plan has been drawn and the outstanding is being paid in batches, due to inability to settle all at once owing to current liquidity crises in the power sector”.
