    The Nigeria Labour Congress(NLC) and Trade Union Congress(TUC) have agreed to suspend its nationwide strike to allow the Federal Government commit to a concrete and acceptable national minimum wage.

    The two labour centres took the decision at the end of an emergency National Executive Council meeting on Tuesday.

    The Federal Government team agreed to raise the N60, 000 minimum wage offer after a meeting with Labour on Tuesday.

    In a communique signed by Presidents of NLC, Comrade Joe Ajaero and Comrade Festus Osifo, labour said it suspended the nationwide strike in order to create the right ambience for negotiation to continue unhindered.

    On Monday, labour called out its affiliates and state councils for a nationwide strike after a breakdown in talks over a new national minimum wage with the tripartite committee set up by the Federal Government.

    The nationwide strike crippled economic activities.

    The communique reads: “The NEC in session resolved that there is a greater need to create the right ambience for negotiation to continue unhindered. The indefinite nationwide strike action is therefore relaxed for One Week from today to allow the Federal Government commit to a concrete and acceptable National Minimum Wage; take definitive steps to reverse the electricity tariff hike back to N66/kwh and abolish the discriminatory classification of electricity consumers into Bands.

    “The NLC and TUC National Leadership are mandated to continue to maintain open channels of communication with the Federal Government to negotiate and secure favourable outcomes for Nigerian workers and people.

    “All affiliate unions and State Councils are therefore directed to Relax the indefinite nationwide strike and return to their respective workplaces immediately.

    “The NEC-in-Session expresses profound gratitude to Nigerian workers and the general public for their unwavering support and solidarity in this critical struggle for improved living and working conditions.

    “The NLC and TUC remain committed to pursuing all necessary actions to protect the rights and welfare of all Nigerian people and workers as we urge all to await further directives while the negotiation continues.”
