Electricity tariff hike: Nigerians paying for darkness

Organised labour comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria made the demand during the picketing of the headquarters of NERC, Transmission Commission of Nigeria and Abuja Electricity Distribution Company in Abuja.

Recall the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission on April 3, 2024, announced the approval of a new electricity tariff for band A customers.Delivering the demands of workers to the Chairman of NERC, NLC president, Comrade Joe Ajaero, said that the National Union of Electricity Employees has been directed to order workers in the power sector to cut off power supply to all offices of NERC and TCN nationwide as part of moves to protest the tariff hike.

“Nigerian workers reject the recent increase in electricity tariff in Nigeria and the associated upgrading and downgrading of customers from one Band to another. It is our clear position that Nigeria after more than sixty years of independence cannot be rationing and rationalising darkness. This is unacceptable.
