The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has closed down the headquarters of the Jos Electricity Distribution Company (JEDC) in Plateau State in response to the increase in electricity tariffs. Reports indicate that the labor union barricaded the main entrance of the company, preventing staff from entering the main building.
The NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) had declared their intention to close down offices of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) and Distribution Companies (DisCos) across the country due to their refusal to meet the demand for a complete reversal of the electricity tariff hike.
