The Nigeria Labour Congress has again rejected the 50 per cent telecom tariff hike approved by the Nigerian Communications Commission, proposing a five per cent increase instead.

The country’s labour union also reaffirmed its plan to proceed with a nationwide protest on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, to express its opposition to the tariff adjustment.

NLC spokesman Benson Upah stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Thursday.

“They keep on emasculating us through stupid taxes. It will come to a point when people can pay, but they won’t pay. This really is to halt this mindless tariff increase. And if by any chance there has to be an increase at all, five per cent, given the fact of our situation that there have been increases across the board.
