NLC condemns planned hike in electricity tariff
Nigeria Electricity Regulatory CommissionAyuba Wabba, the NLC president, on Tuesday in Abuja made the call in a statement titled: “Increase in Electricity Tariff by Abuja DISCOs – a taunting of the will of the Nigerian people gone too far”.
“We wish to state that the Nigeria Labour Congress seriously frowns at, completely condemns and totally rejects any plan to inflict further pain on Nigerians at this very time of great economic distress. “Nigerian electricity consumers need the NERC to speak up and act in the defense of the rights of the Nigerian people,” he said.
“It appears that the adamant desire of DISCOs in Nigeria to ram through their ill-conceived agenda to further impoverish Nigerians through astronomical tariff increase amidst a plummeting return on service delivery has now been deregulated. “This move is in spite of the resolution of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and even the direct orders of Mr President that the plans by DISCOs to hike electricity tariff should be suspended until further notice.
