The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has condemned the Federal Government’s proposed allocation of N8bn for electricity bill sensitization.

NLC President Joe Ajaero described the allocation as “unnecessary and insensitive expenditure.”

Ajaero highlighted that contractors in the Transmission Company of Nigeria are owed over N200bn, while critical infrastructure in the sector remains neglected.

“Proposing N8bn to sensitize Nigerians already struggling with exorbitant electricity tariffs is a slap in the face of hardworking citizens,” he said.

The NLC President also pointed to the contradiction in allocating funds to educate Nigerians on paying bills to private electricity companies while grid failures persist and service delivery worsens.

“Instead of ensuring steady electricity, they want to teach us how to pay for darkness. Governance should be about reducing hardship, not compounding it,” Ajaero added.

The Electricity Act of 2023 granted the National Electricity Regulatory Commission significant powers to regulate the sector, yet the commission has faced accusations of inefficiency and collusion with unethical practices.

Ajaero called for a comprehensive audit of the power sector’s finances and budget.

The N8bn allocation has fueled suspicions of corruption and financial recklessness, with labor leaders urging the National Assembly to reject the proposal and hold power sector managers accountable.
