The Labour Union has suspended its ongoing strike action, barely 24 hours after embarking on nationwide protests.
The protest which was against the removal of fuel subsidy, commenced on Wednesday across the nation.
The President of Trade Union Congress, Festus Osifo disclosed this during an interview with Arise News on Thursday morning.
Osifo 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 the Nigeria Labour Congress, in a press release issued on Tuesday, had announced that it would proceed with the nationwide mass protest as initially planned.
The press release was issued 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.
He stressed that they remained steadfast in their commitment to representing the Nigerian workers’ and people’s interests and desires.
