BREAKING: Nigerian Labour Suspends Strike Action
The organised labour in Nigeria has suspended its nationwide protests against the removal of fuel subsidy.
TrackNews Media reports that the President of Trade Union Congress (TUC), Festus Osifo, announced the suspension in an interview with Arise News on Thursday morning.
Osifo said the labour leaders had met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and extracted some commitments from the government to address the concerns of the unions.
“The protest has been called off because the government has promised that within the next week, a lot of things will be put in place,” Osifo said.
He said the government had agreed to set up a committee to review the minimum wage, and to provide palliatives to cushion the effects of the fuel price increase.
Osifo said the unions would be monitoring the government’s implementation of these promises, and would resume the strike if they are not met.
The nationwide protests on Wednesday were the first witnessed under the administration of Bola Tinubu, who took office in May. The protests were largely peaceful.
