The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has issued a stern warning to the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) over its planned March 1 shutdown of telecommunication services in protest against the recent 50% tariff hike.
Similarly, the Private Telecommunications and Communications Senior Staff Association of Nigeria and the Association of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria have criticised the proposed boycott, arguing that such actions could negatively impact the industry.
NSCDC spokesperson, Babawale Afolabi, revealed that the agency has deployed operatives to telecom base stations nationwide to prevent any illegal disruptions by the protesters.
