Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State had said his government was yet to see the evidence that the NLC was backing off from what it described as a campaign of economic and social sabotage against the people of the state.
“Power is yet to be restored after it was shut down on Sunday, 16th May 202 in a brazen violation of the laws protecting essential services and infrastructure,” he stated.
A statement signed by El-Rufai’s Special Adviser on Media and Communication, Muyiwa Adekeye, stressed the need for prompt restoration of electricity in the state and warned that Labour should not expect that it would be a matter for negotiation, much less being viewed as a precondition.
Power was restored to Kaduna State on Wednesday night after three days of blackout due to the strike of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in the state.
This is coming hours after the NLC suspended its five-day warning strike in the state.
Spokesperson of the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company in the state Abdulazeez Abdullahi announced in a statement on Wednesday that power was restored by 10:30pm.
“We are happy to report that power supply has been restored to many parts of Kaduna State after the suspension of the strike action by the Nigerian Labour Congress this evening.
“As at 10:30 pm, we were able to pick load on most of our 11KV feeders hence many parts of the metropolis including Zaria and environs have had their supply restored. This was possible after restoration of the 33KV feeders by the Transmission Company of Nigeria.
