The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has called on workers and the public to boycott the services of MTN, Airtel, and Glo over a recent 50 percent increase in tariffs.
The decision was reached following a meeting of the NLC’s central working committee in Kogi state.
In a statement on Wednesday, Joe Ajaero, the NLC president, who described the hike as ‘arbitrary’ and demanded its immediate reversal, said the boycott would begin on Thursday and run daily from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm until the end of February 2025.

The union said the boycott would continue until the tariff is reverted to the previous rate pending the conclusion of discussions by the relevant committee.
On Tuesday, the house of representatives asked the ministry of communications, innovation and digital economy to suspend the approval granted to telecommunications companies to increase tariff by 50 percent.
