The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress have suspended the indefinite strike scheduled to begin on Tuesday, October 3.
The organized labour had planned to embark on the nationwide industrial action to protest the hardship caused by the fuel subsidy removal.
However, on Monday night, NLC president, Joe Ajaero in a communique, announced that the strike has been halted for thirty days.
The strike was called after the government refused to meet the seven-point demands of the organized labour to improve workers’ conditions.
The Federal Government had invited Labour for a meeting to prevent the strike.
The meeting involved Governors, Ministers, and officials and was chaired by Femi Gbajabiamila.
The Minister of Labour, Simon Lalong addressed withheld salaries of university staff, while the new wage of N35,000 for Federal Government workers was granted from September.
Outstanding salaries and wages of tertiary education workers in Federal-owned institutions were referred to the Ministry of Labour and Employment for further engagement.
