It is high time union leaders in the power eschewed selfish interest and embrace public interest for public welfare.
This convention must therefore show the true character of the union ideal which among other things improves the quality of lives of its members and the general citizenry.
Ajaero, you must help Nigerians to return to a productive country. You should not look for the quick fixes but must look at the short, medium and long term.
The challenge of modern times is that union leaders must now think more dynamically; must move with the times.
I support this privatization; I support the reform. But you have the right to protect the welfare agenda of the employees.
If we invest the right resources in the power sector, we will definitely get the right results. How long will Nigerians continue to lament the deplorable state of the power sector?
The current situation has created a lot of economic difficulties, resulting in unemployment, stagnation, decay and hardship, even on PHCN workers themselves and the general public.
We cannot continue to do the same things over and over again and expect a different result.
If Nigeria delivers the needed power, this definitely means that there will be job employment which will in effect promote productivity and economic growth.
To keep the sector the same will only damage our productive capacity.
We must therefore join hands with the new drive in the power sector reform and ensure that it is carried out in a fashion that both the workers and the general public will benefit.
Leadership of the union must therefore look for a way to creatively engage the federal government on the welfare of workers and support the privatisation programme.
We must support privatisation for better service and efficiency. If we don’t privatise the power sector, it will destroy us.
