NLC, TUC Shutdown: Nationwide Protest Against Electricity Tariff Hike

Blocking entrances and preventing access to these key offices, the protesting members left workers stranded, unable to carry out their duties. The State Chairman of the NLC, Eugene Mangji, affirmed that this action was in compliance with a directive from their national secretariat, aimed at compelling the government to reverse the recent hike in electricity tariff.
“We have shut down the NERC office at Gold and Base. Right now, we are at the JED headquarters on Ahmadu Bello Way. We will continue until the right thing is done,” stated the NLC chairman.
This nationwide picket, initiated on May 13, 2024, follows a directive issued after a significant meeting of the NLC’s Central Working Committee on April 30, 2024. The organized protest underscores the widespread discontent among citizens regarding the recent increase in electricity tariffs, highlighting the pressing need for government intervention and resolution.

African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain Kenneth Okonkwo has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of orchestrating exorbitant billboard advertising fees for the 2027 elections in Abia State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
