The Nigeria Labour
Congress (NLC) has suspended its ongoing nationwide strike following promises by the
Federal Government to reconvene the tripartite committee on national minimum
wage on October 4. The workers are
demanding a new minimum wage of about N50,000 instead of the current national
minimum wage of N18,000.
The suspension of the
warning strike takes effect from today, Sunday, September 30, 2018. Announcing the decision in Abuja on
Sunday, the NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, stated that the labour action was
suspended to enable the tripartite committee to hold its crucial meeting and
conclude its work.
With
this, workers are expected to resume duties on Tuesday as Monday has been
declared a public holiday by the federal government to mark the country's Independence Day.
