The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has announced plans for a nationwide protest on February 4 against the Nigerian Communications Commission's (NCC) approval of a 50% telecom tariff hike.
In a statement signed by NLC President Joe Ajaero, the union condemned the increase as unjust and insensitive, warning that failure to reverse the decision could lead to a nationwide boycott of telecommunication services.
Civil society organizations, including CISLAC and the Take It Back Movement, have pledged support for the protest, urging the government to reconsider the hike.
Meanwhile, telecom operators and industry stakeholders have defended the increase, arguing that it is necessary for service improvement and industry sustainability.
