US EditionAEDC Workers Issue Notice to Shutdown Electricity Supply in Abuja, Three Other Nigerian States
- On June 4, 2025, two key labor unions representing employees in the electricity sector—the National Union of Electricity Employees and the Senior Staff Association representing electricity and allied company workers—issued ultimatums threatening to halt power supply throughout AEDC’s service regions, including Abuja, Nasarawa, Kogi, and Niger States.
- The ultimatum followed unresolved grievances over unpaid staff entitlements, including pension deductions for 16 months, the 2024 productivity bonus, stagnant promotions, and deteriorating working conditions despite agreements in November 2024.
- The unions noted that workers contributed to raising AEDC’s revenue by over ₦95 billion in the last 90 days, yet the health services collapsed, and several members died due to work pressures and precarious conditions.
- The notice letters, signed by NUEE Assistant General Secretary Opaluwa Simeon and SSAEAC Deputy General Secretary Rosemary Odeh, emphasized that the fight will continue until success is secured, affirming that unity among the people guarantees they cannot be overcome.
- The unions began full mobilisation across AEDC’s franchise states for mass action, warning the strike could start anytime after receipt of the letters without further notice, indicating a looming blackout if demands remain unmet.
