Message: [QUOTE="Queen, post: 85121, member: 27"] Strike’s off in Kano, cash promises are on paper, and everyone is pretending this is not round one of a longer saga. Why the blackout drama paused [LIST] [*]Workers at Kano Electricity Distribution Company pulled the plug on their strike after talks finally landed somewhere productive. [*]Management and labor unions shook hands, at least for the moment. [/LIST] Where the deal went down [LIST] [*]The sit-down happened on Friday, January 23, 2026. [*]The venue was the Kano State Ministry of Power, which turned into neutral ground for damage control. [/LIST] Who sat at the table [LIST] [*]KEDCO management showed up. [*]Labor came through via the Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies and the National Union of Electricity Employees. [/LIST] What money is on the line [LIST] [*]KEDCO agreed to clear the unpaid 13th-month salary arrears from 2019. [*]That backlog is pegged at roughly N150 million, which explains why tempers were hot. [*]The company also said the 2025 13th-month bonus will drop in February 2026, bundled with regular salaries. [/LIST] What is still not settled [LIST] [*]Everyone agreed this was not the full fix. [*]The Nigeria Labour Congress secretariat, union leaders, and KEDCO management plan to meet again. [*]The goal is to chew through the remaining issues without lighting another fuse. [/LIST] What workers were guaranteed [LIST] [*]No retaliation, no quiet punishment, no funny business. [*]Anyone who joined the strike is covered under the agreement. [/LIST] Who signed off officially [LIST] [*]The memorandum carried the signature of Abubakar S. Jimeta. [*]Union representatives signed alongside him. [*]Government officials stood in as witnesses, basically certifying that this truce exists. [/LIST] What this really looks like [LIST] [*]Power workers head back to work. [*]Management buys breathing room. [*]Everyone waits to see whether February actually delivers or whether this story reloads. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
