Electricity workers protest as investors get share certificates and some are not paid

The privatisation of the Nigerian power industry took a step closer to completion on Monday with the handing over of share certificates to 13 investors who had earlier paid for the 14 electricity generation and distribution companies.

President Goodluck Jonathan, who distributed the share certificates to the core investors, said the Federal Government had capitalised the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Company to the tune of over $750m so as to ensure the successful operation of the companies by the private sector operators.

However, the handover of the certificates to the investors was protested nationwide by the workers of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria, who insisted that the government had not fully addressed all labour issues.

To me it not fair for some to be paid and some are not paid.I don't no about you so drop your comments
