The Nigeria Labour Congress on Monday, shut the gates of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company in Ilorin, Kwara State seeking the reversal of the electricity tariff earlier imposed.
Olayinka said that the IBEDC offices would remain closed until there’s a counter directive from the NLC Secretariat in Abuja.
“The Directive from the National Secretariat of NLC said that the picketing is for today but we will get in touch with the leadership of NLC if it will continue”, he said.
Earlier, the labour unions had given the NERC, till May 12 to withdraw the recent hike in electricity tariff or face unprecedented industrial action.
