The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Thursday, confirmed the suspension of its planned strike after meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Senate.
The announcement was made known at the National Executive Council meeting of the Congress.
According to national treasurer, Hakeem Ambali, in a terse message sent to newsmen, said, “ Protest suspended due to the Senate intervention and meeting with President Tinubu yesternight.”
The Informant247 had reported that the Labour unions on Wednesday, staged a massive protest across the country to express their concern over the hardship, caused by the removal of fuel subsidy, where the angry protesters pulled down the gates of the National Assembly in a bid to gain access to the premises so as to meet with the lawmakers.
Meanwhile, the NLC earlier had noted that it would only suspend its strike following a show of seriousness on the side of the government.
The NLC president, Joe Ajaero, following the meeting with Tinubu said the President had made some commitments.
The labour centre is expected to brief the public shortly.
