In a statement by its president, Joe Ajaero, the NLC said the plan to increase electricity tariff by forty per cent come July 1st, is both insensitive and callous and reflects an organised indifference to the well-being of consumers, especially, the poor.
According to the NLC, the market economies which the Market Fundamentalists seek to emulate, have in place socio-economic safeguards which the country does not have and in light of this, the proposed tariff hike should be shelved for the collective safety of Nigerians.
