NLC SUSPENDS PROPOSED PROTEST OVER TELECOM TARIFF HIKE                                                                                                         04-02-25

By Sadiq Aminu                                                               The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has suspended its proposed protest over the 50 per cent increase in telecommunication tariff.

The decision was reached when the leaders of NLC met with the delegation from the Federal government led by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, in Abuja on Monday.

This is contained in a statement issued by the Director, Information & Public Relations in the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Seguin Imohiosen.

The meeting was aimed at promoting industrial harmony and protecting the interest of Nigerians.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, who spoke on behalf of the Federal Government, said that the purpose of the meeting was to look into the study carried out by the NCC which led to the 50 percent increment on telecommunications tariff.

A 10-man Committee comprising five members from the Federal Government and five from the NLC was set up to review the study and submit its report within two weeks.

The President of NLC, Comrade Joe Ajaero, said that the union will wait till the outcome of the Committee to determine its next line of action.

NLC had on Wednesday last week declared that it will embark on a nationwide mass rally on Tuesday February 4, 2025, in protest of the 50 per cent telecom tariff increase recently approved by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
