Telecom operators in Nigeria have issued a strong warning to the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), urging the union to reconsider its planned nationwide protest on February 4.

The operators claim that the protest could have a devastating impact on the already struggling telecom sector.

Gbenga Adebayo, Chairman of the Association of Licensed Telecom Operators in Nigeria (ALTON), expressed concern over the impact of the protest on the industry.

“The coming week will be crucial, but I trust that ongoing discussions at various levels will prevent an outcome we do not expect or desire,” he said.

Adebayo likened the telecom sector to a critically ill patient, stressing that any additional strain could result in irreparable damage.

“If a person who needs 100 liters is only given 10, we all know the inevitable outcome,” he explained.

“The proposed 50 liters is already a lifeline, allowing us to survive, recover, and contribute to employment and economic growth. Anything lower would be catastrophic — like a critically ill patient being denied the oxygen necessary to live beyond the next day.”
