The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Sunday urged the Federal Government to cancel the privatisation of the country’s power sector, IgbereTV reports
The NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, made the call during the 2022 International Workers’ Day celebration in Abuja.
The NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) collaborated to host the event with the theme: “Labour, Politics, and the Quest for Good Governance and Development in Nigeria.”
He urged the federal government to use the Electricity Sector Privatization Reform Act’s five-year review window, which has become overdue.
Former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration supervised the privatisation of the country’s power sector with the sale of the unbundled Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCoS) to private sector players in 2013
