The disengaged staff of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria(PHCN) have asked the federal government to pay up their benefits or risk the destruction of public properties.
Meanwhile the implementation committee for the payment of Power Holding Company Terminal Benefits says it is set to release a time table for the payment of severance benefits to former staff of the PHCN across the country.
Speaking in Abuja, the Chief of Staff to the Minister of Power, Professor Chidi Onyia said so far, the sum of 372 billion naira has been paid to disengaged staff of the PHCN.
He further refuted claims by some of the ex workers that government has remained insensitive to the plight of disengaged PHCN staff.
A representative from the Ministry of Power says 1,669 people have been cleared for the next phase of payment, adding that they over 372 billion naira has been paid to other disengaged staff of the PHCN.
Many hope that this last batch of 1,669 disengaged staff of the power holding company will be paid before the end of February as promised by government officials in the interest of peace and national development.
