Members of the Nigerian Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress prevented workers from resuming work on Monday morning as they thronged various offices of electricity distribution companies to protest the Band A tariff hike.
NLC and TUC gave the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission a seven-day ultimatum to reverse the revised tariff.
However, the Federal Government said a reversal of the tariff would spell doom for the power sector, urging Nigerians to bear the temporary pains.
According to PUNCH, the NLC and TUC were seen at the corporate headquarters of the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company in Lagos State singing and calling for the reversal of the Band A tariff.
In Oyo, protesters stormed the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company office, picketing the same.
Policemen were reportedly in attendance to forestall any breakdown of law and order.
