…Faults TCN’s claim on interruption of national grid

The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE), has described the categorization of electricity supply into ‘Bands’ as a scam that ought not to have been allowed to take place.

President of the Union, Comrade Adebiyi Adeyeye, who stated this during an interview with Television Continental on Tuesday, June 4, 2024, in Lagos, also said that the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), did not state the facts with regards to the disruption of electricity supply during the nationwide strike called by the Organised Labour which took place on Monday and part of Tuesday before it was suspended.

Adeyeye, while explaining the Union’s role in the nationwide blackout, pointedly said that the allegations by TCN that the Union shut down the national grid was false.

He said that the grid was back just that some people in Band E may not have light for the next four days.

This was as he faulted the claim by the TCN that the ongoing blackout across many cities in the country was as a result of the activities of Union members, stressing that the TCN knows the Banding of electricity supply which is a total scam is affecting supply to many cities.

Adeyeye said; “Do we need the categorization of supply of electricity into Band which clearly discriminates against some categories of people when the supply is being generated and transmitted from the source? The answer is a no. It is nothing but a scam”.

Forefront News noted that the TCN on Monday, June 3, 2024, blamed the blackout on the union’s interruption of processes which hampered the national grid.
