The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) has suspended its picketing of the Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) headquarters in Marina, Lagos State.
The union had picketed the Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) headquarters in Marina, Lagos, over an alleged attempt to cover up corruption in the company.
SaharaReporters gathered that the workers stormed the Marina office as early as 5am on Thursday.
The union had accused the management of the company of collaborating with the board members to perpetrate corruption, which it said would eventually ruin the establishment.
However, the union in a memo obtained by SaharaReporters on Saturday announced the suspension of the action, noting that the board of directors/Eko Management responded to the letter union sent to them.
NUEE asserted that the management was pleading for more time to conclude their investigation and also calling the Union to a meeting next week for discussion.
"Good evening, dear comrades. I want to say a big thank you to everyone of us for today's struggle. It showed that we're united.
"Please be informed that the picketing has been suspended due to the following reasons.
"The board of directors/Eko Management later responded to the letter union sent to them pleading for more times to conclude their investigation and also calling NUEE to a meeting next week for discussion.
"NUEE has also written back to them telling them to round up the investigation on time and while the investigation last, the status quo should remain, that's, the culprits or the perpetrators of the Ghost Workers should not be allowed to resume to work," the memo read.
