…Says it is against Nigerians The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), said Tuesday that the proposed increase in data rate by the telecoms operators in the country was a conspiracy against the collective interest of the common man in the country. In a statement made available to newsmen and signed by the President, Comrade Bobboi Bala Kaigama and Acting Secretary General, Comrade (Barr.) Simeso Amachree, the Congress said the proposed increase was unacceptable as if is aimed at frustrating the lives of the Nigerian people. If said rather than increase awareness for greater citizens’ participation especially in ICT, they are doing the opposite, pointing out that while the government is banking on ICT for youth empowerment, the NCC is trying to cut youth participation. The statement reads: “The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria warns against the on-going conspiracy between the Federal Government through the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and some major telecom companies, especially MTN to further increase their data rates from December 1, 2016. It is really startling the extent government and its capitalist’s cronies would go to frustrate the lives of Nigerians. “We feel particularly awful about the move because data is one of the cheapest ways to empower the teaming youth. This move if allowed would make it unaffordable. In our view, this is insensitive and criminal on the part of the parties involved. “We are not surprised that MTN has thrown its whole weight behind the policy; but the telecom giant should realized that trying to lobby the government will not save the organization when the chips are down. Of course, this cannot happen in South Africa. “Naturally, we had expected that government would increase awareness for greater citizens’ participation especially in ICT, but unfortunately they are doing the opposite. One cannot really situate Federal government policy direction these days. “On the one hand, the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo is banking on ICT for youth empowerment while on the other, the NCC is trying to cut youth participation. All the promises made to the Chief Executive Officer of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg when he visited the country cannot be achieved if the policy is implemented. “This is not the best way to make money. This move is spineless and should be done away with. What then would be the benefit of the policy to the self-employed who depend on data for their businesses? The truth is, cheap internet data is a vehicle of some sort to economic development. “It is very unfortunate, very unreasonable and inhuman to come up with such idea at a period of recession. Any call for increase in anything for now is most unreasonable, uncalled for and a calculated attempt to record more suicide cases and insecurity in our already tension-soaked country. “The telecoms sector was often used as a case study to justify the removal of fuel subsidy. But the question is, is the telecoms sector truly deregulated? What happens to the issue of free market in the telecoms sector? “There is so much deceit and insincerity in the system. We are calling on government to come up with godly policies that would encourage investment and stimulate growth, instead of deliberately trying to stifle businesses.” Source : http://ijebuloaded.com/news-tuc-rejects-proposed-increase-data-tarrif/

Buhari is MORE CORRUPT than OBJ, Yar'Adua and GEJ combined.I'll tell you why:On May 20, 2015, GEJ approved the 2015 Budget. The budget was 4.5 trillion naira.On May 29, 2015 (9 days later) Buhari was sworn in.In December 2015, Senate approved 0.57 trillionnaira supplementary budget.In total, Buhari received N5 trillion naira in 2015.---------------------------------------------------------------------------On May 6, 2016, Buhari approved the 2016 Budget. The budhet was 6 trillion naira.On October 25, 2016, Buhari requested for an additional 1 trillion naira supplementary budget.[Considering that the Senate only reduced the main budget from 6.08 to 6.06 despite the public outcry, it's almost certain that Buhari will get this extra 1 trillion in December].---------------------------------------------------------------------------In total, between May 29 and today November 29 (18 months--1 yr and 6 months), Buhari has received N11 trillion naira.My fellow country men and women, aside the1. N150b monthly wage bill for FG employees (N2.7 Trillion)2. The N2.5 trillion for debt servicing (in 2015 and 2016)3. Budget for National Assembly (N150b in 2015and N115b in 2016 - N265b in total)4. Budget for Judiciary (N73b in 2015 and N70b in 2016 - N143b in total)5. Release of N200b for road construction (whether all that money actually went to the contractors, nobody knows).Which is a total of 5.75 trillion;What did BUHARI and his merry band of "touch-not-my-anointed" looters use 5.25 trillion naira for?You cannot have INTEGRITY without ACCOUNTABILITY.Yet, this VERY CORRUPT man that used 16 SANs to quash a court case requesting for his certificate (when he simply could just dust a copy and provide it in court or release it in the public domain like Obama) is attempting to borrow $30b (N9.5 trillion as at today with official exchange rate) WITHOUT AN ECONOMICPLAN.This same UNEDUCATED RIFF-RAFF wants to present a budget in 7 DAYS time, when the 2017MTEF and FSP that should guide same budget has been lambasted by the National Assembly, high-profile economists, and every right thinking NIGERIAN as been "UNREALISTIC,""NOT TRUTHFUL," and "STUPID."How can you present a budget when the MTEF and FSP are not being debated on the floor of the Nat'l Assembly (they were sent to a special committee to check through it before it would come to the floor of the House)?So, this fantastically corrupt Buhari who cannot give account for over N5T, the billions of loots already recovered, cannot provide an economic blueprint for a $29.9b loan, cannot provide a holistic and realistic MTEF and FSP wants to hurriedly bring another N6T budget (most of which will be sourced by borrowing) and Nigerians are just looking at him like hypnotizedpeople.No president since 1999 has been this FINANCIALLY RECKLESS, ECONOMICALLY INEPT, and SHAMELESSLY CORRUPT!Shame on the 15 million people that foisted this disaster on 180 million hardworking Nigerians. 11 Likes 1 Share |

very good. there is hope this NCC increment plan can be thwarted. Good One from TUC. |

wristbangle: We do not need to strike. This data increase affects the youth more and most of the youths are in tertiary institutions. If the various SUG's an NANS has not been compromised, this is enough reason to shut down highways all over Nigeria by various Nigeria tertiary institution, demanding a reversal of the price and the sack of whoever is responsible. Of course you will never hear them do this. |
