The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) has called on investors in the nation’s power sector to stop inflicting pains on Nigerians through  hike in electricity tariff and epileptic services.
It also kicked against the moves by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to increase electricity tariff,  describing  the move as  anti-people and illogical.
