BREAKING: NLC Orders Boycott Of MTN, Airtel, Glo Over Tariff Hikes

Tariff Hikes

The Central Working Committee of the Nigerian Labour Congress has called on workers and the general public to boycott telecommunications providers, including MTN, Airtel, and Glo, starting at 11:00 AM on Thursday, February 13, 2025, in protest against tariff increases.

The decision was announced in a statement by Joe Ajaero, NLC president, and Emmanuel Ugboaja, NLC secretary, on Wednesday.

“The CWC demands an immediate reversal of the tariff hike, which took effect today, and insists that the companies revert to the previous tariff until the committee completes its deliberations and reaches a conclusive agreement.

“As a first step in resisting this arbitrary tariff hike, the CWC has directed that beginning Thursday, February 13, 2025, Nigerian workers and other willing citizens shall boycott the services of MTN, AIRTEL, and GLO daily between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM until the end of February 2025.”

The Congress also criticized the government for failing to protect citizens from corporate exploitation.

The NLC also reviewed the Tax Reform Bills, warning against policies that could further burden Nigerian workers. While acknowledging the need for fiscal reforms, Congress vowed to push for fair and worker-friendly tax policies.

If the tariff hike is not reversed by February 29, 2025, the NLC will commence a nationwide telecom shutdown from March 1, 2025. The Congress urged civil society groups and all Nigerians to join the protest against exploitative economic policies.
