YEDC Staff Accuses Management of Mass Sack, Frustration.
The Yola Electricity Distribution Company (YEDC) has laid off more than half of its staff.
Most of the technical staff the company inherited were either frustrated out of the work or laid off on minor disagreement.
A staff who claimed he left out of frustration and poor condition of service,said many technical staff who has put in years of experience since the era of NEPA cannot be maintained by the owners of YEDC.
According to sources,there was an experience of a system breakdown and the only person that was conversant with the technical aspect of the repairs was a laid off staff,New Herald was informed that it turned out to be a serious bargain between the ex staff and the management of the company before he agrees to work on the system.
These and several other experiences resulted in the poor mantenance and erratic power supply being experienced in the state.
However,YEDC has dismissed rumours of staff victimization and sacking saying its Organization is being reorganized for effective and efficient power delivery to the people of the state.
On the allegations that Nigeriens are taking over the company and laying off Nigerian workers,the Acting Head of Corporate Communications, Mr. Peter Cheman, clarified this in a press briefing on Monday.
He explained that the Chief Technical Officer of (YEDC) is a technical partner from Niger who is part of the senior management team and is responsible for improving the network performance.
He said that the man is not in charge of staff-related matters, but works to make sure the network is constantly improved to serve the customers that are subscribed to the services of the company.
Cheman stressed that all the staff positions, both permanent and outsourced, are occupied by citizens who follow the rules and regulations of the company.
He therefore appealed to the customers of the company to disregard the false news circulating on social media and other faceless platforms alleging witch-hunt and or nepotism.
He also stated that YEDC is one of the only two distribution companies in Nigeria that have fully remitted their payments to the Federal Government, according to the third quarter report of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).
He assured the customers that YEDC is committed to providing quality and reliable power supply and pay for it as at when due!
