Background

The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has resolved to hold a nationwide anti-telecom tariff hike protest Tuesday, February 4, as part of its mobilization against the planned 50 percent telecom tariff hike.

The nationwide protest was agreed on at the ongoing National Administrative Council, NAC of NLC

It is aimed at sounding a note of warning to the government that workers would resist the planned hike as it would worsen the poverty level across the country.

Recall that NLC had, on January 22, rejected the 50 percent telecommunication tariffs hike approved by the Federal Government through the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC.

According to NLC, the 50 percent tariffs hike approval, “at a time Nigerian workers and the masses are grappling with unprecedented economic hardship, is a clear assault on their welfare and an abandonment of the people to corporate fat cats.”
