The Organised Labour has suspended its strike action barely 24 hours after its commencement.
The President of Trade Union Congress, Festus Osifo made the announcement during an interview with Arise News on Thursday morning.
According to him, the labour leaders who met with President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday, extracted commitments to some of the issues raised from him..
On the basis of this, the labour leader decided to suspend the strike action.
It would be recalled that the organized labour embarked on a nationwide strike action to force the federal government to rescind some harsh policies, such as the fuel subsidy withdrawal.
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 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.
