Labour which consists of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union of Nigeria (TUC) suspended its proposed strike action, 24 hours after embarking on nationwide protests against the removal of fuel subsidy.
President of Trade Union Congress (TUC), Festus Osifo announced this during an interview via a Monitored Television programme on Thursday morning.
He said the Labour leaders who had earlier met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu extracted some commitments to some of the issues raised during the meeting for immediate implementation.
Speaking on why the protest was suspended, Osifo announced that the protest was called off because the government promised alot of things will be put in place next week.
He further expressed that the NLC gave themselves an 8-week mandate that, from June 19th to August 19th, the entire issue would be dispensed with.
Yo will recall that Organised Labour on Wednesday protested to press home their demand over the removal of fuel subsidy.
