The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, will picket the office of the National Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, and distribution companies, DisCos’s, premises nationwide on Monday over the hike in electricity tariff.Â
According to a joint statement by NLC’s Acting General Secretary Chris Uyot, and his TUC counterpart Anka Hassan, the picketing action is scheduled to take place in the offices of the NERC and Electricity Distribution companies, DISCOS, in all states, including the FCT.

Their action follows the failure of the NERC to reverse a hike in the tariff for electricity consumers who enjoy at least 20 hours of daily power supply.
Though the NERC had reviewed the tariff, the labour unions said they were picketing the agency’s office as well as the premises of distribution companies after a Sunday reversal deadline failed.
