The Trade Union Congress has asked Nigerians to look for alternative power source beginning from Monday (today), as it declared that it would shut down the nationwide operations of the Transmission Company of Nigeria today.
But the TCN described the move by TUC as ill-motivated, stressing that it was wrong for the labour union to claim that there was industrial disharmony in the transmission company.
It was also learnt that the plan by the TUC to ground operations at the transmission firm had caused disagreement between the two major unions in the power sector.
In a message to workers at the Abuja headquarters of TCN, which was sighted by our correspondent on Sunday, the trade union claimed that for some time now, workers of the transmission company had been subjected to inhuman treatment by the management of the firm.
