The Nigeria Labour Congress on Sunday directed its affiliates to be on alert for mass action if the Federal Government implements the telecommunication services charge contrary to the terms agreed by the 10-man committee.

The decision was taken by the National Executive Council of the NLC during a meeting in Yola, Adamawa State, where the congress inaugurated its Compressed Natural Gas-driven Mass Transit Buses for the North East Zone and discussed the economic challenges facing Nigerian workers. In a statement yesterday, the labour union also warned that any further increase in electricity tariffs would be met with strong resistance.

It called on all industrial unions and progressive allies to prepare for decisive mass action against anti-people policies.
