Electricity workers staged a peaceful protest against the casualisation of staff and what they described as the unjust termination of 17 employees’ appointments.
The aggrieved workers occupied the premises of the IBEDC office at Ringroad in the Ibadan Southwest local government area on Thursday.
They alleged that some of their colleagues are being employed as casual workers with only monthly stipends and no prospects for full employment.
The protesters also expressed concerns about deductions from staffers’ salaries without remittance.

They claimed that the sack of their colleagues by IBEDC was done without due consultation and violated Labour laws, which require union members to be consulted before downsizing.
In response, Head of Branding and Corporate Communication IBEDC, Angela Olanrewaju, stated that the sacked employees were placed on probation for several months before being let go due to lack of improvement.
On the casualisation of workers, she revealed that the company has no casual workers as their duties have been outsourced.
