NLC ask government to shelve plans aimed increasing electricity tariffs in the country.
The Nigeria Labor Congress, NLC, has asked the government to shelve plans aimed at increasing electricity tariffs in the country.
In a statement by its president, Comrade Joe Ajaero, the NLC said the plan to increase electricity tariff by 40 come July 1st, is both insensitive and callous and reflects an organized indifference to the well-being of consumers, especially, the poor ones.
According to the NLC, the market economies which the Market Fundamentalists seek to emulate, have in place socio-economic safeguards which we do not have and in light of this, the proposed tariff hike should be shelved for the collective safety of Nigerians.
