The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) has announced it will pursue legal action in response to allegations that it has terminated 3,000 employees.
The company strongly refuted these claims, clarifying that its total staff strength is approximately 2,500.
IBEDC viewed the spread of misinformation as a deliberate and malicious attempt to damage its reputation.
The Coordinating Head, Corporate Services of IBEDC, Angela Olanrewaju, who stated this, said the company is currently actively supporting the resolution of the ongoing third-party outsourcing issue with the Oyo State branch of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC.
Olanrewaju also appreciated the Federal Ministry of Labour’s efforts in facilitating discussions among stakeholders.
She stated, “The company acknowledges the professionalism exhibited during the mediation process, which remains ongoing. In light of the ongoing situation, IBEDC plans to take legal action to address the defamation.”
Olanrewaju urged the Oyo State branch of the NLC to exercise patience during this time and to refrain from actions that could disrupt operations adding that such actions would only interrupt power supply to businesses and residents in Oyo State .
