The strike embarked upon by Nigerian workers as directed by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the United Labour Congress (ULC), has been suspended.

The strike which was started on Thursday over government’s refusal to implement the new minimum wage was suspended on Sunday following the directive to that effect by the President of the NLC, Ayuba Wabba.

“In order to avail the committee the necessary conducive environment to hold this crucial meeting and conclude its work, organised labour has after obtaining the mandate of their necessary organs, decided to suspend the strike with effect from today, Sunday Sept. 30, 2018.”
