NLC Threatens Strike Over Electricity Tariff
THE Nigeria Labor Congress (NLC) warned on Wednesday that the organized Labor would have no option but to embark on an industrial strike if the Federal Government increases electricity tariff.
In a statement he personally signed, the president of the union, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, described the reported proposed hike in electricity tariff as mere speculation.
He pointed out that the organized labor would deploy industrial mechanisms granted in the laws of the land for the defense of workers’ rights.
In a statement entitled, ‘Notice on speculations on increase in electricity tariff,’ Wabba reminded the minister that the organized labour, on September 28, 2020, agreed with the Federal Government to freeze further increases in electricity tariff until the committee concludes its work and its report adopted by all the principals in the committee
