Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) Suspends Nationwide Strike

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has suspended its nationwide protest.

Members have also been directed to resume work.

NLC had issued a directive to workers to commence the strike on Thursday, following a breakdown in negotiations with the Federal Government on the implementation of the new minimum wage.

Addressing a press conference in Abuja last Wednesday, Ayuba Wabba, NLC President, had lamented that the congress couldn't reach an agreement with the Federal Government delegation led by Chris Ngige, Minister of Labour and Employment.

The strike led to a shutdown of activities at offices, schools, railway stations and airports.
