The Nigeria Labour Congress has called off its planned protest, initially set for March 1, 2025, after reportedly reaching an agreement with the Federal Government on a 35 per cent increase in telecom tariffs.
Papers News understands that the decision was met with approval by the National Association of Telecommunications Subscribers on Thursday, with the group urging the government to introduce further relief measures for telecom operators.
Recall that on January 20, 2025, the Nigerian Communications Commission announced a 50 per cent increase in telecommunications tariffs, marking the first major adjustment in over a decade.
