The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has said it will not allow the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to further increase electricity tariff by migrating other electricity consumers to Band A.
The congress threatened to mobilise its members for a nationwide protest should the regulatory agency implement any fresh tariff increase in the power sector.
It also warned telecommunication companies not to go back on the 35 per cent increase in telecommunication services agreement reached on February 21 between it and the Federal Government through the Joint 10-man committee.
The NLC said it took the decision at its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, where it also inaugurated some mass transit buses that use the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for the Northeast. (TheNation)
