The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have said they will picket the office of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) and the premises of power distribution companies (DisCos) nationwide over the hike in electricity tariff.
“We write to inform you of the picketing action scheduled to take place in the offices of the NERC and Electricity Distribution companies (DisCos) in all states, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
“The action will jointly take place on Monday, May 13, 2024 nationwide simultaneously. Therefore, the two labour centres are directed to work together to carry out this important action. While counting on your usual cooperation, kindly accept the assurances of our goodwill and highest regards,” the unions said in a joint statement by NLC’s acting General Secretary Chris Uyot and his TUC counterpart Anka Hassan.
