Federal Government and Labour are set to resume negotiations on electricity tariffs increase will resume next week, Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo (SAN), said on Thursday.
In the same vein, the seven-man technical sub-committee set up to review the increase in electricity tariffs will meet with power Distribution Companies (DisCos) and electricity consumers across the six geo-political zones.
Talks were temporarily suspended because of the #ENDSARS protests.
Keyamo told the Nation: “We should start meeting by next week. The #EndSARS protests disturbed our meeting last week.”
Before the #ENDSARS protests commenced on October 10, the sub-committee submitted its first report to the larger house comprising the government team and organised labour.
Following the submission of the interim report to the larger house in October 11, the committee was given two months to work around the issues surrounding the hike in electricity tariff.
