Speaking to the media, Lambert Atsivor on day one of their protest, the Volta regional chairman of the ECG Senior Staff Association, Stephen Norvixoxo said the workers have resolved to plunge the entire country into blackout on Friday, should the government go ahead to launch the intended concession policy on Thursday.
