The Federal Government, through the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), has changed the verification date for ex-staff of the defunct Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN). This new date also covers the verification of certified Next-of-Kin (NOK) of the deceased ex-staff who were in service between July 1, 2012 and October 31, 2013 .
The announcement on the change of date was issued in a statement signed by Amina Othman Tukur, the Head of Public Communications at BPE, which noted that the phase two exercise earlier scheduled for Monday, June 19, 2023, would now take place on Monday, June12, 2023 to Saturday, June 24, 2023, in Jos, Ibadan, Yola, Benin and Kano.
“Defunct PHCN’s bonafide 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,” the statement read in part.
BPE further explained that the change in date was to enable the Muslim faithful to observe the Eid Kabir celebration coming up in June. It further advised all concerned individuals to take the exercise seriously as there would be no other exercise after this one has been conducted.
