BREAKING: Labour suspends Nationwide strike

The Joint National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), have suspended the ongoing strike over the battering of the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, among other pending issues.

The strike was suspended following the intervention of the Federal Government through the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) on Wednesday.

The unions said the suspension followed the intervention of the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.

IDOMA VOICE had reported that NLC could meet at 7pm on Wednesday to decide the update on the ongoing nationwide strike.

The National Deputy Vice-President of the TUC, Tommy Etim, made this known in an interview with newsmen in Abuja Wednesday night.

“The NEC of the NLC and the TUC have suspended the strike. We did this based on our trust for the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, who gave us his words,” he said.
