"This protest will continue so long as the government refused to listen to the cry of Nigerians because this is not the change we voted for. We believe as workers and citizens of this country that has a listening ear to the yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians towards ensuring a better environment for people to live in," he said.
But a statement signed by the head of corporation communication department of the company, Abdulaziz Abdullahi, the Managing Director/CEO, Kaduna Electric, Engineer Garba Haruna, called on the Nigerian Labour Congress and the Trade Union congress to stop the picketing of distribution companies as the nation cannot afford any disruption to power for now.
