The leadership and members of the Nigerian Labor Congress, the Trade Union Congress and other Civil Society groups, are currently staging a protest in Abuja over the 45 percent increase in electricity tariff. While addressing his members, President of NLC, Aliyu Wabba, said the increase was unacceptable;
“From 14 Naira per unit to 28 or 26 Naira. This increase is outrageous. When it subsists this time around, be sure that it will continue and the exploiters will continue to exploit us. This is the message that we are taking to all these agencies. We are also going to the National Assembly because they are the true representatives of the people. They feel our pulse and they represent our various constituencies and therefore they must stop all these by making laws that will actually protect the people. Law should be made to protect the people and not encourage exploitation. The increase is going to affect manufacturers, medium and small scale enterprises and even consumers. Every consumer must be provided with meter because people should be able to pay for what they consume and not to pay for darkness"he said.

God is a Good God, The increase actually is too high, what N10,000 was lasting for one week now its last for three days, i was not even glad about it just because i am using prepaid meter. while some people that are using direct connection do not pay above N150 per person in the neighbourhood per month. there should be a just weight scale.
PHCN is not effective talk more of increment.
Good one, we no go gree... Fashola... kilode... Double your hustle
Good, I like this protest. Honestly the way things are going high in this country is quite alarming..let them protest gbam!!!!

If there's power supply, then there'll be no issues with the increment but the increasing rate of power outage. Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Whaoooo!! Hmmmmmm
But why that is Government of Nigeria responsible for increment of electric city bill? we have been told that the company NPA has been sold to the private body,then what is the function of the regulatory body that access the effectiveness of the company?.It is here in Nigeria i see people pay for what they did not eat,in south Africa, individual can sue a company for any in-regularity, i was unable to communicate with my junior brother who lives in S/A on phone for view days as a result of him rejected the crazy bill served him, he sue the company and the company reduced the bill and apologize, reverse is the case in Nigeria,more than half of Nigeria houses did not have miter,that, a loan as show how insincere our system are,that means the company just served people any amount the feel like.In area like IGNDO ,egan, obadore,ikotun you will be wounder if there is government in place at all, with what this power company doing, for 4, 5, days no light when is view days to month end they will on the light for 1 hour daily, then bill will follow. In conclusion,we have not see the reason why we are paying the bill,no light, no miter,let there be light stable one, then u can now talk about any tariff increment.
Hope their protest will b successful
My only grouse is why did they wait until after d increase started on 1st February? The answer is simple. As wt previous labour unions from d time of Osho Baba, they ve bn settled. All this is just gra-gra. They will b settled and maybe d tariff will b reduced a bit and they will rejoice dat they ve achieved sometin. Liars. It has bn d game plan since OBJ and Osho Baba. Am sure d increase was meant to b to about 20 naira, but since it is d plan they took it to 26 so dat wen labour protest they will bring it down to 22. Watch and see it play out. This has bn labours trick since Osho Baba
Are these protests yielding any results at all
Pls BEDC warri has started their own strike already. They give light for 2hours and take it for 12hours, they still charge meter maintainance fees.. Very useless and razz company.
