Electricity workers have shut down the national grid following the declaration of an indefinite strike by organised labour unions (National Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress, TUC)
Gatekeepers News reports that Ndidi Mbah, the spokesperson for Transmission Company of Nigeria, Ndidi Mbah, confirmed this to Daily Post on Tuesday.
