From Femi Mustapha, in Kaduna
The organized labor under the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC), has picketed the headquarters of the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company in Kaduna over the recent hike in electricity tariff for customers on Band ‘A’ categorization.
The Labour members led by the Kaduna Chairmen of the NLC and TUC, Comrade Ayuba Magaji Suleiman and Comrade Alhassan Danfulani respectively, called for immediate reversal of the tariff.
This was even as they kicked against alleged segregation by the electricity sector, through class differentiation in the electricity supply.
The Labour leaders also asked the Federal Government to reverse the privatization of the distribution sub-sector of the electricity industry.
They argued that the privatized distribution sub-sector has done nothing, but cheat Nigerians and make a profit at the detriment of underserved citizens.
