Nigerian News Nalin It is reported that the Nigerian Labor Conference (NLC) has announced a national protest on Tuesday, February 4, 2025 to respond to 50 % of the recent approval of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
After the NLC National Administrative Committee (NAC) emergency meeting held in Abuja on Wednesday, the decision was made.
Trade unions condemned tariffs to interest rate hikes “unsightly and unreasonable”, and believed that this brought additional economic burden to Nigerian workers and the public. The lingering effort is removed.
Recall that last week, the Labor Center explicitly rejected the decision of the NCC and called for immediately.
The trade union warns that the minimum wage of Nigerian workers is 70,000, which cannot be burdened, which describes it as a “direct attack” to the people.
Despite the call for dialogue, the government has not yet resolved the concern of the union, which prompted the latest decision to mobilize large -scale actions.
In the newsletter provided by Newsonline, it was signed by NLC President Joe Ajaero. Congress instructed all members and the State Council to start mobilizing before protesting the assembly across the country on February 4.
The trade union further warns that if the government fails to reverse the increase in tariffs, it may upgrade its actions, including resisting telecommunications services and wider industrial actions across the country.
The communiqué wrote: “Nac-IINSIONS completely rejected 50 % of telecommunications tariffs to raise interest rates, which is too harsh for citizens.
“In order to express our collective opposition to this any tariff interest rate hike, NLC will start a large -scale rally in the country on Tuesday, February 4, 2025. The rally will warn the minimum wages It is 70,000; a population has suffered from gasoline prices, high food costs, rising electricity prices and rising population.
“All NLC branches and state parliaments were instructed to start completely mobilizing to prepare to protest the rally in the country on February 4, 2025. The willing folk social allies are also encouraged to join the preparation.
“Congress called on all Nigerian workers, informal departments and the public united to oppose this unfair policy.”
The NAC meeting requested that a 50 % tariff rate hike immediately. It calls on the Federal Government, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and the National Assembly with the National Assembly with key interests to make a meaningful dialogue to review the tariff adjustment proposed in the economic background facing the economic reality of Nigerians.
“If you ignore this, the Nigerian Labor Conference will upgrade its actions, including the possibility of resisting telecommunications services nationwide and further large -scale actions that may involve our services nationwide to resist poverty and inequality.”
