Barely 24 hours after embarking on nationwide protests against the removal of fuel subsidy, the Organised Labour has suspended its proposed strike action.
The President of Trade Union Congress, Festus Osifo made this known during an interview with Arise News on Thursday morning.
He said the Labour leaders who had earlier met with President Bola Tinubu extracted some commitments to some of the issues raised during the meeting for immediate implementation.
He explained the suspension of the strike was based on this.
It was reported that in a press release issued on Tuesday, the Nigeria Labour Congress had announced that it would proceed with the nationwide mass protest as initially planned, following a meeting with the Federal Government.
The NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero noted that the outcome of the meeting with the government did not yield positive any changes or concessions that would alter their course of action. They stressed that they remained steadfast in their commitment to representing the Nigerian workers’ and people’s interests and desires.

We know that is the end of it. So long as fed govt workers salary will be increased, NLC will assume all Nigerians are ok. Whereas state ansd LG govt workers are wallowing in suffering with a director collecting less than 100k per month in majority of states. What about those that are not working at all which are in the majority. The only solution is to subsidise petrol even half way or forget it
