The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has urged the Federal Government to re-visit the electricity privatization agreement and allow states, individuals and corporate organizations to generate and distribute electricity independent of the national grid.
President of the NLC, Mr Ayuba Waba made the request in an exclusive interview with Channels Television, where he spoke on the position of the organised labour on the Federal Government’s proposed electricity tariff adjustment.

According to him, if allowed to fly, increase in electricity tariff will make industries that are already paying too much for electricity, to fold up their businesses.
Speaking about the new minimum wage, Wabba noted that state governments do not have any reason not to pay the agreed sum of N30,000.
He added that 10 states have completed the process of negotiating with the Nigerian workers in their domain.
