NLC Set To Announce Suspension Of Indefinite Strike

Organized Labor has decided to postpone its scheduled nationwide indefinite strike. According to AIT, this decision was reached following a closed-door meeting between Labor representatives and Federal Government officials at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Sunday.

Joe Ajaero, the President of the NLC, addressed the press after the four-hour meeting and revealed that the N25,000 announced by President Bola Tinubu during his Independence Day address would now apply to all categories of workers, not just those in lower-level positions.

The leadership of both the NLC and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, will convene with worker union bodies across the country to formally announce the decision to suspend the planned nationwide indefinite strike.

The indefinite industrial action, originally set to commence at midnight on Tuesday, October 3, will be put on hold.

Additionally, the meeting between Federal Government officials, led by the President’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, will continue on Monday to further address issues related to the removal of fuel subsidies.
