The National Union of Electricity Employees has said that the national grid has been restored after the Nigerian Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress suspended their strike.

According to the PUNCH, The National President, Adebiyi Adeyeye, in an interview confirmed that the grid had been restored on Tuesday.

Adeyeye said, “The strike has been suspended, which means the grid has come back to normal. It is on already.”

Recall that the organised labour on Monday began a nationwide strike over the Federal Government’s refusal to raise the proposed minimum wage from N60,000 and reverse the Band A tariff to N65 per kilowatt-hour instead of N206/KWh.

In compliance, the electricity workers swung into action by shutting down the national grid, plunging the nation into darkness in the early hours of Monday.

The organised labour has suspended the strike for five days to resume negotiations with the Federal Government on a minimum wage that is above N60,000.
