The Nigeria Labour Congress has again warned the Federal Government against increasing electricity tariff until the FGN-Labour Committee on Electricity Tariff concludes its work and submits its report which would be adopted by the government and organised labour.
The union cautioned that it would deploy the industrial mechanisms granted in the laws for the defence of workers’ rights if the government failed to abide by the agreement to suspend electricity tariff hike for now. This was contained in a statement on Friday by the NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, titled, ‘Labour is committed to freeze in increase of electricity tariff,’ issued in response to a report in a national daily The report was said to have quoted the remarks of the special adviser to the president on Infrastructure at the stakeholders’ engagement of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission held in Lagos on September 17, 2021, which was refuted by the presidential aide.
The organised labour had last month threatened to embark on industrial action if the FG failed to abide by the agreement to freeze electricity tariff hike until a committee set up to look into the issue submits its report. While acknowledging that the special adviser’s rebuttal got to the NLC secretariat, Wabba also stated that the SA expressed commitment to the engagements with the organised labour.
