The nationwide strike embarked upon by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and Trade Union Congress, TUC, has been suspended.

The TUC President, Festus Osifo, who stated this on Tuesday, explained that the suspension was to give room for uninterrupted meetings with the tripartite committee on the new national minimum wage.

The Labour leaders had a five-hour meeting with the Federal Government led by Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, George Akume, and other government officials on Monday and reached a resolution that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was committed to a new minimum wage higher than N60,000.
