As more reactions trail the implementation of the 50 per cent telecommunication tariffs hike, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is not relenting on its stance, appealing to workers and interested Nigerians to boycott the services of telecommunications operators for at least three hours daily until the end of February.
The NLC condemned how the telecommunications companies went ahead and implemented the new 50 per cent tariff hike, calling it a betrayal of trust.
As a first step in resisting the tariff hike, the Central Working Committee (CWC) directed Nigerian workers and other willing citizens to boycott the services of MTN, Airtel, and Globacom daily between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm.
This boycott started today (Thursday, February 13, 2025,) and continues until the end of February 2025.
