Protest by the labour movement in Ogun State has paralyzed the activities of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company, IBEDC, in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
The MKO Abiola Way headquarters of the IBEDC and other outlets in the city were put under lock and key following the visit of organized labour to the premises earlier in the morning.
A combined team of both the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, led by their chairmen, Comrades Hammed Ademola-Benco and Akeem Lasisi during a protest to the IBEDC office, called for the reversal of the tariff hike introduced by the federal government, describing it as totally unacceptable given the country’s prevailing economy.
The labour leaders said workers were the worst hit by the electricity tariff hike, calling on the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, to desist from promoting what they described as anti-people policies.
They also urged President Bola Tinubu to reverse the hike and find a lasting solution to the issue.
