NLC DECLARES NATIONWIDE PROTEST OVER TARIFF HIKE
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has declared a nationwide protest over the recent hike in the prices of data, airtime, and other telecommunication services.
In a statement issued after its National Administrative Council meeting on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, the NLC announced that the protest would be held on Tuesday, February 4, 2025.
This follows the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC)’s decision to approve a 50% increase after telecom operators initially requested a 100% hike.
Last week, the labour union had called on Nigerians to boycott telecommunication services nationwide in protest against the increase.
It also blasted the Federal Government for granting such approval when the country was experiencing an economic crunch, likening it to an assault on Nigerians’ welfare.
