The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has urged workers and the general populace to shun the services of MTN, Airtel, and Glo over a recent 50 percent increase in tariffs.
The decision was agreed upon after a meeting of the NLC’s central working committee (CWC) in Kogi state.
In a statement on Wednesday, Joe Ajaero, the NLC president, labelled the increase as “arbitrary” and demanded an immediate reversal.
He stated that the boycott would start on Thursday and run daily from 11:00 pm to 2:00 pm until the end of February 2025.
“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 statement reads.
