Why NLC Suspended Protest Over Telecom Tariff Hike

Details emerging from the emergency meeting between the Federal Government (FG), Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) indicate that the absence of telecommunication stakeholders was a major reason no mutual agreement was reached on a percentage adjustment for telecom tariffs.

THE WHISTLER had earlier reported that the nationwide protest scheduled for February 4 was suspended less than 24 hours before its commencement.
