The Bureau of public Enterprises (BPE) has announced a change in dates for the verification of former staff of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), and the certified Next-of-Kin (NOK) of the deceased ex-staff who were in service between July1, 2012 and October 31, 2013, originally scheduled for May 15 to September 9.
Announcing the change in date in a statement the BPE said the phase two of the exercise earlier scheduled to commence from June 19, will now hold fromJune12 to 24, in Jos, Ibadan, Yola, Kano and Benin, to enable the Muslim faithful observe the forthcoming Eid Kabir celebration.
The Bureau also advised all those concerned to take the exercise seriously as there would be no other exercise after this.
“The defunct PHCN’s bona fide ex-staff, their relevant Unions and all other key stakeholders are to please, note that there will be no other verification exercise once this is concluded,” BPE said.
Recall that the Bureau had earlier released the schedule for the exercise which is a prelude to the payment of the agreed 16-month Severance benefits to the bona-fide ex-staff of the defunct PHCN including certified Next-of-Kin (NOK).
The exercise will be held in 12 designated centres in four phases across the country in Abuja, Kaduna, Jos, Kano, Yola, Enugu, Port Harcourt, Benin, Ibadan, Ikeja, Eko and Maiduguri.
The defunct PHCN’s bona fide ex-staff, their relevant Unions and all other key stakeholders are to please, note that there will be no other verification exercise once this is concluded.
