The Organised Labour under the leadership of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC), Monday picketed the headquarters of the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company in Kaduna over the recent hike electricity tariff for customers on Band ‘A’ categorization.
The labour unions are also gathering to commence the same action in Abuja.
The Labour members led by Kaduna NLC and TUC chairmen, Comrade Ayuba Magaji Suleiman and Comrade Alhassan Danfulani, called for immediate reversal of the tariff.
They kicked against alleged segregation by the electricity sector through class differentiation in supply.
The Labour leaders also asked the Federal Government to reverse the privatisation of the distribution sub-sector of the electricity industry.
They argued that the privatised distribution sub-sector has done nothing but cheated Nigerians and making profit at the detriment of underserved citizens.
