The organised labour will on Monday (today) commence nationwide protests over the electricity tariff hike and removal of subsidy from the power sector by the Federal Government.

The National Treasurer of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Olatunji Ambali and the National Deputy President of the Trade Union Congress, Tommy Etim, who confirmed the planned protests to The PUNCH in separate interviews on Sunday, insisted on the reversal of the tariff hike to the subsidy era.

The labour action is expected to lead to the shutdown of the Abuja headquarters of the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission, the Ministry of Power and state offices of power distribution companies.

The NERC announced the hike in the electricity tariff for Band A customers at a press briefing in Abuja on April 3, revealing that those affected would pay N225 per kilowatt-hour, up from the previous rate of N68/kWh.

The hike represented a 240 per cent increase.

The development marked the removal of subsidy from the tariff of customers in the Band A category, who constituted about 15 per cent of the total 12.82 million power consumers across the country.

Their purpose is Noble, but it's bound to fail as usual.
Why? Because Nigerians will never be united in one purpose.

Why? Because ONE NIGERIA is a Scam.
Nobody TRULY believes in ONE NIGERIA.

The long awaited protest.

Nothing will happen.
This particular labour union is as fake as it gets

Do we have Labour in Nigeria , Abi they want to cash out

They are always taking us for granted on Ikorodu.... Nepa will give an average of 6hrs daily, but bill us at more than 12hrs daily at the end of the month...
Instead of the gov to check all those leakàges, they increased tariff....

By providing meters to all, you can solve 80% of the problem...

Since yesterday evening, they've switched it on & I know it's because of the bill they want to post , & NLC protest
