The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has resolved to organize a one day protest and national warning strike over the state of the nation, especially the increase in electricity tariff, Daily Trust reports.

NLC President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, disclosed this yesterday at the opening session of the Central Working Committee (CWC) meeting of the congress at the Labour House in Abuja.

Wabba said the planned strike was in response to the prevailing economic situation in the country and to government on its toes to ensure that the people get the best result from the present administration.

According to him, Nigerians are feeling the heat and harsh realities of the economic crisis in the country, the immediate cause being the drastic fall in the price of crude oil.

The NLC president decried the 45 per cent increase in electricity tariff, saying it was “illegal, unfair, unjustifiable and a further exploitation of the already exploited Nigerians.”

Wabba pointed out that the due process in the extant laws for such an increment was not followed in consonance with Section 76 of the Power Sector Reform Act, 2005.

BULL-TALK, nothing will come out of it. Its just a talk for settlement. The NLC is a toothless bull dog that is part of elite class that has stolen our common national patrimony as individual benefit.
