Power installations and offices were on Wednesday shut down by electricity workers under the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE), leading to power outage across the country.
The workers commenced a strike action following the expiration of a 21-day ultimatum given to the Federal Government over its failure to dialogue with them over some issues affecting the power sector.
In a bid to halt the strike, the leadership of the workers union was summoned to an emergency meeting scheduled for last night by the minister of power, SalehMamman.
