It was a sad day at Jos Electricity Distribution Company, Makurdi branch as about 50% of staff of the company were sacked.

According to Lasgidi Online source at the company, each staff received an SMS this morning notifying them of an emergency meeting by 4pm, as the staff members assembled at the venue of the meeting, most of the staffs were issued envelopes.

Unveiling the envelopes, they discovered it was sack letters, it was a moment of grief for those that were affected which is about 50% of the staffs of Makurdi branch.

This is coming just days after the workers salaries was paid with several deductions, the management didn’t give a reason for their action.

The workers are now left with no option than to go into the labour market to look for other jobs.

It is painful though.
