The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) chairman, Lagos chapter, Funmi Sessi, has rejected warnings from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) over its planned March 1 shutdown of telecommunication services.
Recall that the NLC announced its intention to shut down the operations of telecommunications companies across the country if the 50 percent tariff hike announced by the Nigerian Communications Commission was not reversed by the end of February.
However, speaking with Punch on Sunday, the spokesman for the NSCDC, Babawale Afolabi, said the agency had deployed operatives to the base stations to prevent any illegal action by the protesters.
