TUC,Workers' Day

The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC and the Trade Union Congress TUC, have appealed to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, and Power Sector operators, to reverse the increase in electricity tariff within one week.

Presidents of the Unions, Joe Ajaero and Fetus Osifo made the call on Wednesday in a joint speech to mark the 2024 Workers’ Day in Abuja. The duo expressed dissatisfaction over the epileptic power situation in the country which is also negatively affecting economic growth. They claimed that a nation incapable of effectively and efficiently managing its energy resources would face certain ruin.

“Power, regardless of its source, remains paramount in Kickstarting any economy, while oil and gas are indispensable for robust energy success in every country. “NAN quoted him as saying. They said it was absolutely critical for the government to collaborate with the people to establish frameworks that ensure energy works for all Nigerians. According to the duo, the plight of the power sector remains unchanged over a decade after the privatisation of the sector.
