LCCI expresses concern over labour issues in power sector

The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) on Monday expressed concern over the protracted labour issues in the privatisation of the power sector.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the chamber expressed its con¬cern in a communiqué made available to newsmen in Lagos after a meeting of its council.

The chamber urged the Federal Government to ex¬pedite action in resolving all the labour issues in the power sector.

LCCI appealed to the PHCN authorities to improve its management and commu¬nication process with the staff in order to avert any strike.

“The recurrent strike ac¬tions in Nigeria have very negative implications on the development of human capital which will invariably take its toll on the Nigerian economy.

“Stakeholders should em¬brace the spirit of dialogue and compromise in the interest of the citizens and the Nigerian economy”, the communiqué said.
