The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), have appealed to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) and Power Sector operators, to reverse the increase in electricity tariff within one week.
President of the unions, Mr Joe Ajaero and Mr Fetus Osifo made the call today in a joint speech to mark the 2024 Workers’ Day in Abuja.
The duo expressed dissatisfaction over epileptic power situation in the country which is affecting economic growth of the country.
According to them, it’s imperative that any nation incapable of effectively and efficiently managing its energy resources, faces certain ruin.
They said it was absolutely critical for the government to collaborate with the people to establish frameworks that ensure energy works for all Nigerians.
According to the duo, the plight of the power sector remains unchanged over a decade after privatisation of the sector.
