Power Returns To Kano

Power Returns To Kano

Electricity supply was restored in Kano and other franchise areas after workers of the Kano Electricity Distribution Company suspended their strike action, bringing relief to residents and businesses affected by the blackout.

The decision followed days of disruption across the company’s coverage areas.

The industrial action began when members of the Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies and the National Union of Electricity Employees stopped work over complaints about working conditions.

The strike started after the company’s management failed to address their demands before the deadline issued earlier in the week.

The situation changed after fresh talks involving the company, labour leaders, and other stakeholders.

According to the company’s management, discussions led to agreements that resolved the issues raised by the workers, paving the way for the suspension of the strike and the return to normal operations.

With electricity now restored, the company assured customers of its commitment to stable power supply and improved labour relations. It also thanked consumers for their patience during the outage, saying efforts would continue to prevent a repeat of the disruption.
