The management of Kaduna Electric has confirmed the dismissal of no fewer than 39 employees from the company due to various offenses that violated the company’s employee policy.

This was contained in a statement issued by the company’s Head of Corporate Communication, Abdulazeez Abdullahi.

According to Abdullahi, the offenses included misappropriation of company funds, fraudulent practices, unauthorized access, and abscondment.

 “These offenses were in violation of the recently endorsed revised employee conditions of service, which was supported by the national leadership of the two in-house labor unions and the management led by the Managing Director/CEO, Yusuf Usman Yahaya,” the statement said

According to Abdullahi,  the actions of the dismissed staff had adverse effects on the company’s financial well-being and needed to be addressed.
