National Union of Electricity Employees

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) is a trade union representing utilities workers in Nigeria.

The union was founded in 1977 as the National Union of Electricity and Gas Workers, when the Government of Nigeria merged six unions:[1][2]

  • E. S. Company African Workers' Union
  • E. C. N. Northern States Electrical Workers' Union
  • NEPA and Allied Workers' Union
  • Nigerian Electricity Workers' Union
  • Nigerian Transmission Company Workers' Union
  • Technologists Association of National Electric Power Authority

The union was a founding affiliate of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). By 1988, it had 25,893 members, the total falling slightly to 24,000 in 2005.[3] In 2016, the union left the NLC to become a founding constituent of the United Labour Congress (ULC). However, in 2020, the whole ULC rejoined the NLC.[4][5]
