NLC reacts to another hike in electricity tariff

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has condemned another hike in electricity tariff instead of a reversal promised by the federal government.

Joe Ajaero, NLC president, said this on Thursday in Abuja in a statement titled, ‘Stop killing the people and the economy’.

According to Mr Ajaero, the hike in tariff by electricity distribution companies (DISCOs) from N206.80 to N209.5 with effect from 1 July 2024 for “the so-called band A” customers represents the height of impunity and arrogance.
