NLC, TUC storm NERC, EEDC offices in Anambra over electricity tariff

Members of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) in Anambra state on Monday, May 13, stormed the premises of the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) and the Enugu Electricity Development Company (EEDC) to protest against the recent increase in electricity tariffs.

The unions were led by their leaders, comrades Humphrey Nwafor and Chris Ogbonna respectively.

The labour members marched from their office in Awka to the electricity companies, singing “Aluta” songs to protest the increment.

They called on the federal government to revert to NEPA, adding that the privatization of the electricity companies has added to the sufferings of Nigerians.
