The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have suspended their industrial action over a lack of consensus on a new minimum wage and the hike in electricity tariff for about one week.

The TUC president Festus Osifo said this on Tuesday in Abuja after a t extraordinary national executive council meeting of the unions. A communique will be issued shortly, the labour chief said.

Both unions downed tools on Monday to their grievances over the hike in electricity tariff and lack of consensus on a new minimum wage.

The development ground activities in critical sectors of the economy with schools, businesses, hospitals, and airports shut. The national grid was also shut down, throwing the nation into darkness.

Great news

Oya. Put on the light abeg

Thank God tomorrow is midweek service, let.me go and thank God

Hope they came up with something reasonable

Nigeria government should have mercy on it's workers, cheap labour dey purge

Useless nlc
Dem no serious only fighting for their selfish interests

FG too like hard way...

lol…at least they meant business this time

😀😀😀
These people are never serious.

Hope the strike suspension was with a clear mind, and not brown envelope induced?

Abeg, if una wan strike make una Strike no be all these Iberiberism.

Only a total reformation that would create home made system of leadership can salvage this country now

By suspending the strike, the unions may be indicating that they are willing to engage in further negotiations with the government to reach a mutually acceptable agreement, without putting Nigerian's to more hardship,
This could lead to a resolution that benefits will all.

However, the suspension of the strike may not yield anything, because the government might not listen to them, more over the strike does not affect them as much as it does to ordinary citizens and the underlying issues may still not be addressed.
The government and the unions may need to continue negotiations to find a lasting solution to the disputes.

Unserious animals

Okay

NLC still not serious

NLC don fold.

Just when people started telling them to accept 900k or nothing.

What's the new minimum wage?

This husband and wife romance/drama between NLC top officials and FG is why the government of the day see them finish.

Imagine 1 day strike called off and we haven't gotten the results of the strike action in the first place.

I pity monthly salary earners sha.

So soon

I knew it won't go far, when the NLC executives go broke, they come all out barking like toothless rabid dogs. When they are given snack they turn docile.

Useless nlc

You don't understand unionism vs governance.

I feel bad about this also, but I understand that Labour also needs to be careful.

Unionism is not a display of emotional outburst.

I honestly don't know why some folks here derive pleasure in people suffering. You celebrated when Emefielle made Naira scarce because it helped your useless candidate. You celebrated this strike too despite mostly affecting average Nigerians. You better check yourselves to asylums. Mad people.

Good. The news is not yet carried by mainstream media.

May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

As expected nah. Mstchew

NLC / TUC God go punish una today Tuesday I dey off duty ...... No bank 🏦🏦 open for me to withdraw...... From tomorrow now una called off strike 😕😕😕😕😔😔😔

120k or nothing

Or pay the 60k but with the following allowances :
1. Health allowance 10k
2. Hardship allowance 10k
3. Transportation allowance 20k
4. Food allowance 20k
5. Holiday allowance 20k
6. Fuel subsidy removal allowance 10k

We are all Nigerians nobody is better than another. We deserve fair treatment

Funny

They should come to a logical conclusion. Instead of this back and forth agreement and disagreement.

It's not a nice idea to call off the strike when they have not gotten to any better agreement.

Y the initial gragra NLC?

They have stylishly accept the unknown offer from Dubious FG.

Nice

@least FG have understood that they're united this time.

Those of you saying rubbish, you guys lack some sense.

Normally the poor masses suffers more during strike but the most important thing is to achieve the aim of the strike for better future.

They only suspended it for five days to negotiate with government.

If they should continue the strike for the next one month, can the poor people survive?
Can you afford to fuel your generator throughout the strike period?

Many business was affected just for a day strike and some of you are urging them to continue without considering the negative impact.
