NLC Demands Power Sector Audit After Nationwide Grid Collapse

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) called for a comprehensive audit of the power sector infrastructure following a nationwide grid collapse that plunged the country into darkness. NLC President Joe Ajaero urged the government to redirect funds towards building new power generation capacity and revitalizing transmission infrastructure instead of subsidizing privatized electricity companies.

The NLC emphasized the necessity for transparency and accountability in the power sector, advocating for a fundamental review of the privatization model. The union highlighted the public's growing intolerance towards power outages and demanded concrete actions to address the systemic failures in the sector.
