Just In: Labour Calls Off Strike

The organised labour comprising the NLC and TUC had declared an indefinite nationwide strike over the inability of the federal government to pay Nigerian workers a living wage.

The leadership of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has resolved to relax the nationwide strike after they convened a joint extraordinary National Executive Council in Abuja.

“The NLC and TUC are going to relax the strike and see what happens in the next one week with negotiations with FG,” one of the sources noted.

“We’re just doing communique but it will be released after the meeting with the government team,” another senior official confirmed.

The meeting with the Nigerian government team will be held at 1.30 pm on Tuesday.

It was further learnt that the labour leaders were called to come to the Presidential Villa in Abuja for the meeting while they were working on the communique.

It was also learnt that they tactically sent out journalists from their meeting.
