The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) has suspended its strike action.
This was revealed by the Eko Electricity Distribution Company via it’s twitter handle, Thursday morning.
Eko Electricity Distribution Company noted that its offices and payment channels are open for business.
But in a statement on Thursday, Joe Ajaero, general secretary of NUEE, said the union decided to shelve the strike after a meeting with the federal government.
He said all the concerns of the union and its members were addressed in the meeting which lasted till the early hours of Thursday.
“Following the agreement reached between NUEE and representatives of Government this morning, on all the issues in contention, the Union wishes to suspend the industrial action it embarked upon to press home these demands,” the statement read.
“Consequently, members are urged to return to their duty posts while we monitor the implementation of these agreements. We would not hesitate to resume action if the agreements are not implemented.”
The national grid collapsed during the strike which led to shutting down of most of the offices of Distribution Companies (DisCos) across the country.
