Head of Corporate Communications, Ikeja Electric, Felix Ofulue, has declared that workers of the firm “are not on strike”.
Rather, they have been prevented by protesting Labour Unions from gaining access to facilities and are, therefore, not in a position to provide any consistent services to customers.
“They are ready to go back to their work stations and continue to provide quality and excellent service delivery to the customers like they have been trained to do.
“We are also seeking the intervention of the government and industry stakeholders to find a lasting and amicable solution to the labour dispute as we are poised to serve our customers better”.
The electric firm also apologised for the epileptic power supply across its network in the past three days, caused by the union leaders.
Ofulue said the situation had impacted negatively on power supply as well as purchase of recharge units because all the substations, Business Units and Undertakings have been taken over by the protesting Unions.
” Ikeja Electric regrets all inconveniences these action may have caused its customers and appeals to all its customers to please bear with us. We assure that the company is doing its best to normalise the situation within the shortest possible time. We thank all our customers for their patience and understanding” he added.
