Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, has tweeted an update on the meeting between organised labour and the federal government.
The meeting was to address the postponed strike action over the increase in fuel and electricity tariffs.
Keyamo took to Twitter @fkeyamo, to outline the resolutions they had reached.
“At this time (11.15 pm) the Govt team and Labour are meeting to consider the report of the Technical Committee on Electricity Tariffs set up two weeks ago and headed by my humble self (@fkeyamo). We have presented our report to the larger house. Communique expected soon.
“1. Labour & Govt have adopted these Resolutions of the Adhoc Committee I chaired. Highlights include using VAT proceeds to temporarily subsidize tariffs whilst my Committee will work for two more months to resolve other issues that may substantially affect tariff adjustments.
“2. Other immediate reliefs include provision of six million free meters to Nigerians, salary protection for electricity workers, mandatory refund for any over-billing during system transition by the Discos, monthly publication by NERC of allowed billing of unmetered customers etc.”
