The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) have agreed to suspend their ongoing strike over the new national minimum wage dispute with the Federal Government for one week.
A source attending the ongoing NEC meeting in Abuja confirmed this to our correspondent.
“A joint NEC meeting of TUC/NLC has approved to relax the industrial action for one week with immediate effect,” the source said.
The strike, which began on Monday, extended into its second day on Tuesday, causing significant disruption to economic activities.
Following a meeting with the leadership of organized labour, the Federal Government on Monday expressed its commitment to increase the N60,000 minimum wage offer.
Labour representatives are expected to resume discussions with the tripartite committee on a new national minimum wage today.
