Nigerian Labor Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have given the federal government a deadline to reverse the hike in electricity tariffs
Both Unions took the joint decision at the jointly held meeting of the National Executive Council
“The NEC once again vehemently condemns the unilateral increase in electricity tariff by the authorities. This action taken without due consideration for the economic hardship faced by the masses and the provisions of the law, is deemed unjust and burdensome. The NEC reaffirms its demands for an immediate reversal of the tariff hike and the vexatious apartheid categorization into the Bands to alleviate the suffering of Nigerian workers and citizens and give the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) and the Federal Government until the last day of May, 2024 to meet those demands”
The statement reads.
