The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has condemned the decision of the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) to implement
The move is against resolution of the Senate and directives of the Federal Government the plans by DISCOs to hike electricity tariff be suspended till next year.
The statement 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. “We are not aware of any order by the government or the elected representatives of the Nigerian people de-freezing the order to suspend any plans to inflict more pocket and psychological trauma on Nigerians by way of reckless and insensitive hike in electricity tariff.
“Nigerian electricity consumers need the NERC to speak up and act now in defense of the rights of the Nigerian people,” the NLC stated in the statement.
