Members of the organised labour in Osun State, on Monday, blocked the main entrance of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company Business Hub, Osogbo , protesting the recent hike in electricity tariff . The action was a result of the joint directive of the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress , to picket offices of power distribution companies in their respective state capital.
“We are saying ‘NO to electricity increment’ and additional burden on Nigerians and that is why we are here today picketing IBEDC offices,” he said. Fasasi said he expected the labour action to yield results in the next two to three weeks, adding that if there is no reversal, labour will shut down the Nigerian economy with a total strike.
