Kaduna Electric has restored electricity to Kaduna State and all its franchise states with immediate effect.

This follows resolutions reached after Governor Uba Sani had convened a meeting with both parties on Friday, February 8, 2025, at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, which ended around 8pm.

It will be recalled that the labour unions of Kaduna Electric had embarked on industrial action since last Sunday, , following the decision of the management to sack 444 workers, thereby plunging Kaduna, Zamfara, Sokoto and Kebbi States in darkness, following power outage.

At the end of the meeting, Governor Uba Sani promised to be the Guarantor as he would ensure fairness to both sides, after both parties agreed to sit down and take a joint decision.

The resolution was signed by Dr. Umar Abubakar Hashidu, the Managing Director of the electricity company, Comrade Wisdom Nwachukwu, the Vice President(Distribution) of National Union of Electricity Employees(NUEE), Comrade Rilwanu Shehu, Deputy President North of the Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies (SSAEAC).

Other union members that signed the resolution include Comrade Muhammed Musa, Deputy President North of NUEE and Comrade Haruna Ahmed Tinau, Deputy Secretary General (North).

Engr Idris Ahmed Idris, the Managing Director of Kaduna Power Supply Company also signed the resolution.

?The Unions praised the Governor for his intervention. They also commended the Management, led by Dr. Hashidu, for moving Kaduna Electric forward,? the resolution stated.

The unions however, noted that the Management is operating under stringent conditions, given the prevailing economic situation in the country but promised to help it succeed.
