FG Urged To Ensure Steady Power Supply Not Increase Tariffs

The Federal Government has been urged by the National Union of Textile Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria to ensure steady power supply before increasing electricity tariffs.

A statement issued in Kaduna by the Secretary General of the Union, Issa Aremu, said the group support the planned picketing of electricity distribution companies by the organised labour.

Aremu advised President Muhammadu Buhari to urgently revisit the report of the 2014 National Conference and implement the holistic recommendations for the power sector. He said that the Federal Government should not allow the increase in tariff “by the underperforming generating and distribution companies.”
