The Bureau of Public Enterprises has said 38,000 workers of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria may get their full entitlements before the physical handover of the power generation and distribution companies in the country to their new owners on November 1, 2013.
According to the BPE, the Federal Government had successfully verified 38,000 workers out of the over 45,000 employees of the power firm.
The Deputy Director, Electric Power Department, Mr. Amaechi Aloke, told our correspondent that the government was working hard to ensure that the new investors would not face the problems of settling workers.
Aloke said this on the sidelines of a workshop organised by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission for purchasers of the PHCN successor companies and other stakeholders in Abuja.
He said, “The bureau has been able to verify 38,000 workers out of the 45,000 employees of PHCN and the Federal Government is working hard to have these workers fully settled before the physical handover date which is November 1.
