NLC Threatens To Lead Mass Protest If FG Increases Electricity Tariff by Bobloco(op): 4:16pm On Mar 02, 2025
Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, yesterday urged the Federal Government to jettison any planned hike in electricity tariff under any guise, threatening to lead mass resistance against further such increases.

This came as it threatened to shut down operations of telecommunications companies should they fail to implement the 35 Percent tariff hike agreed upon with the Government as against the 50 per cent earlier approved through the Nigeria Communications Commission, NCC.

NLC, in a communique issued at the end of its National Executive Council, NEC, meeting in Yola, Adamawa State, said members of NEC unequivocally rejected “the ongoing sham reclassification of electricity consumers by the NERC, which seeks to forcefully migrate consumers from lower bands to Band A under the guise of service improvement while, in reality, imposing unjustified extortion on the masses.”

I wonder how Tinubu sleeps at night knowing how he has plunged majority of Nigerians into sudden extreme hardship. It's now everyday a new technique to make things even harder. Na wa o!
Re: NLC Threatens To Lead Mass Protest If FG Increases Electricity Tariff by Basicend:
That's necessary.

Tinubu's govt is always cunning with taxes.

Increasing ATM charges, telecom tariffs, and now wants to increase NEPA bill again. .at the same time.

And he will be saying "Elo fokan bale. ."

Toothless dogs. If you cannot protest, if you think hoodlums will hijack your peaceful demonstrations, strike.

Go on strike for 2 weeks and let's see the out come

They should protest for bad governance, excessive wastes by the government, and unemployment. If people earn decently, paying higher electricity bills won't be an issue.
How many states have implemented the bew minimum wage? Have the NLC protested?

Useless people , they agreed with telcos to reduce to 35% from 50%, , the outcome is a failed one, they didn't revert it
Re: NLC Threatens To Lead Mass Protest If FG Increases Electricity Tariff by SensualMan: 8:33am On Mar 03, 2025
Lol. Why? Nigeria pays the lowest tariff of electricity in the world so why should labour protest?
The electricity supply in yoruba region has remained steady and stable so any consequential adjustment to the tariff is highly welcomed.
Our dearest President need funds to supply us in South West basic amenities of life so electricity tariff increment is welcomed if that will provide the needed funds.

2027 toh sure!

They can get bribed without protesting and I know it'll end in bribery but at least they must give a good reason before calling off the protest...which means the government will also shift ground a bit, no matter how little.
