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

The Central Working Committee of the Nigerian Labour Congress has instructed employees and other willing citizens to boycott services provided by telecommunication giants including MTN, Airtel, and Glo due to tariff increase on Thursday, February 13, 2025, from 11:00 AM.

On Wednesday, NLC president Joe Ajaero and Secretary Emmanuel Ugboaja issued a statement announcing the decision.

“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 government’s failure to shield citizens from corporate exploitation was another point of contention for the Congress.

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.

Details later.
