Today’s coverage, we report on the swelling discontent across Nigeria as organized labor unions initiate nationwide protests in response to a dramatic 240% increase in electricity tariffs. This significant rise in costs follows the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission's decision to eliminate subsidies for Band A consumers, affecting those with over 20 hours of power daily. The removal of these subsidies, aimed at economic reform, has sparked widespread outrage as citizens grapple with the escalating cost of living. Join us live as Public Affairs Commentator, Dotun Ojon, helps us unpack the layers of this crisis and discuss the possible outcomes and concessions that might pacify the protestors while maintaining necessary economic reforms. We’ll also explore how these protests could shape the future relationship between the Nigerian government, labor unions, and the public.
