Electricity Tarriff Reversal must be obeyed

NLC

 The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has commended the ruling of the Federal High Court, sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos which declared the 45 per cent electricity tariff increase illegal.
The NLC gave the commendation on Wednesday while reacting to the ruling in a statement signed by its President, Ayuba Wabba.

Wabba said “the court ruled today that the tariff increase by the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) was illegal and should be reversed immediately.
The court then held that the implementation of the 45 per cent increase constituted a violation of its interim order, and awarded
N50,000 cost against NERC.
“This is a courageous judgment deserving commendation. We consider it a victory for the ordinary Nigerian who has been oppressed by
exploitative bills,”

Her statement read in part;  "Regardless of my costume being transparent, my only option was to put on a sanitary pad and still go ahead to perform. I am a woman and I’m not ashamed of menstruating. "I want to urge every woman to resist being discriminated against because of menstruation. I hope some people read wide and learn about menstrual health to stop the stereotype against young girls and women. "Yes my menses appeared 30 minutes to my performance and I had to put on a sanitary pad and still go on stage. "Menstruation is not a shame and I urge all young women take a cue from my actions and not to let it stop them from doing anything they want to do."
