NLC, TUC issue NERC ultimatum to reverse electricity hike

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) have issued ultimatum to Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission to immediately reverse the hike in electricity to N65/kwh.

In a statement by the President of NLC, Comrade Joe Ajaero and TUC President, Comrade Festus Osifo give NERC till Sunday 12th May, 2024 to comply.

The two labour centres says failure to reverse the hike in electricity will lead to swift mobilization of members to occupy all NERC’s offices and those of the DISCOs nationwide until justice is served.

The Organized Labour promised to defend the rights of citizens against exploitation and injustice.

“Such actions would not be tolerated; we refuse to accept the new norm” the statement reads.

The two centers had rejected electricity tariff hike across the country from 65kwh to 225kwh.
