Nigerian power workers to go on strike
The National Union of Electricity Employees called the indefinite strike over unpaid allowances promised by the federal government. The strike will cripple the ability of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria to provide electricity to Africa's most populous nation.
Even when workers are present, Nigeria remains beset by blackouts and problems with its aging federal power grid, forcing the population to rely on private generators to provide electricity.
President Goodluck Jonathan is to outline a proposed $3.5 billion overhaul and privatization of the industry during a speech in Lagos.
