The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has expressed displeasure with the federal government’s silence on the April 3 electricity tariff hike.
The one-half of the Organized Labour disclosed this in its communique released on Tuesday after its National Executive Council meeting.
The meeting resulted in the suspension of its indefinite strike for one week.
“The NEC reaffirms that these issues are critical to alleviating the financial burden on Nigerian workers and the general populace. The electricity tariff hike and discriminatory Band classification remain unacceptable and must be addressed alongside the wage increase,” it stated.
The NLC, the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and other organizations have joined voices to call for the complete reversal of the electricity tariff hike.
However, the Federal Government is yet to act.
