Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has suspended its planned nationwide protest against the recent 50% hike in telecommunications tariffs.

This decision followed a meeting with government representatives at the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation on Monday night.

This is contained in a statement issued by the Director, Information & Public Relations in the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Seguin Imohiosen.

During the discussions, the government agreed to establish a broader committee to review the entire tariff structure.

This committee will comprise five representatives from both the NLC and the government and is expected to submit its findings within two weeks.

The NLC has stated that its next steps, including potential protests, boycotts, or service withdrawals, will depend on the committee’s outcomes.

The NLC had expressed concerns over high electricity tariffs and burdensome taxes affecting workers, emphasizing that these issues remain unresolved and require attention.
