NLC Declares Nationwide Protest Over 50% Telecom Tariff Hike

The nationwide demonstration was agreed upon during the ongoing National Administrative Council (NAC) meeting of the NLC.

The protest aims to send a strong message to the government that workers will oppose the planned increase, which would exacerbate poverty throughout the nation.

The NLC argues that approving such a significant tariff hike while Nigerian workers and the general populace are facing extraordinary economic challenges is a blatant attack on their well-being and a neglect of the people in favour of corporate interests.
