Organized labour comprising the Nigeria Labour Council (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have shut down disCos offices nationwide over the electricity tariff hike amid hardship in Nigeria.
The organised labour unions staved off workers from having access to their offices to work early Monday morning as they thronged various offices of electricity distribution companies to protest the Band A tariff hike.
Last last night, the labour unions distributed reminder notices to all its branch offices and affiliates, across the nation in respect of a proposed nationwide protest to commence today, Monday.
Organised labour is protesting the electricity tariff hike and removal of subsidies from the power sector by the federal government.
With the picketing of all the offices of the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), organised labour has been expected to shutdown of the Abuja headquarters of the agency, the Ministry of Power and state offices of power distribution companies nationwide.
