The Leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) in Ondo state on Monday shutdown the Ondo State headquarters of the Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC), located at NEPA area of Akure, the state capital.

The protest is in compliance with organised labour leadership’s directive over the recent hike in electricity tariff approved by the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).

The protesters who blocked the main gate prevented the staff of the company from gaining entrance to the premises as the protesting union members demand for the reversal of the tariff hike

The labour leaders arrived the BEDC head office in Akure early in the morning to prevent staff of the company from resuming work by blocking the main gate.

Addressing newsmen at the picketing of the Discos office, the Ondo state Chairman of the NLC, Comrade Victor Oladele Amoko described the recent hike in electricity tariff as unjustifiable.

Comrade Amoko flanked by the State JNC Chairman, Comrade Ademola Olapade and other affiliate union chairmen, noted with dismay the untold economic hardship the hike would have been causing the citizenry.

On his part, the State Chairman of TUC, Clement Fatuase called on President Bola Tinubu to stop various harsh economic policies his administration had been introducing in the last one year.

Comrade Fatuase said the BEDC and other Discos offices would remain shut down until the government reverses the new electricity tariff hike.

As an employee, it’s common for your role to evolve over time. However, when your responsibilities significantly deviate from your original job description, it may be time to reassess your situation.

The Issue:

You’re employed as a driver with a salary of 120,000 Naira. However, your boss assigns you various menial tasks unrelated to driving, such as:

– Washing the car
– Running errands
– Buying items from markets
– Performing gardening tasks

Your Options:

1. Request a salary increase : You can ask for a raise to 240,000 Naira, considering your expanded responsibilities. A well-structured letter outlining your reasons may persuade your boss.
2. Resign : If you’re unhappy with the additional tasks and your boss rejects your salary increase request, you can choose to resign. We can help you draft a resignation letter.

Important Considerations:

– Your boss can assign tasks outside your original role, but consistently doing so may warrant a reevaluation of your compensation.
– You can’t sue for additional pay for tasks you’ve already completed, but you can negotiate a salary increase or seek new opportunities.

Take Action:

Decide whether to request a salary increase or explore new opportunities. We can assist you in drafting a salary increase letter or resignation letter, whichever you prefer.

According to Zagazola Makama, the attackers rode on motorcycles and opened fire with sophisticated weapons, killing two men on the spot. Those killed are Tukur Muhammed, 30, and Sa’ad Muhammed.

Troops under Operation FANSAN YANMA swiftly responded to the attack and engaged the bandits in a gunfight. Despite the effort, the assailants managed to escape across the border into the neighbouring Niger Republic.

The bodies of the slain farmers were taken to a hospital for documentation and burial.

In the aftermath of the attack, security patrols in the area have been intensified to prevent further incursions.
