NLC affirms strike suspension in response to Tinubu’s intervention

Following President Bola Tinubu and the Senate’s intervention, the Nigeria Labour Congress has stated that its scheduled strike has been suspended.

The Congress’s National Executive Council meeting was followed by the resolution.

“Protest suspended due to the Senate intervention and meeting with President Tinubu yesternight,” the national treasurer, Hakeem Ambali, said in a curt message to our correspondent this morning (Thursday).

It was reported that the NLC protest which was held yesterday across the federation, including the Federal Capital Territory prompted an emergency meeting between the President and the labour leaders.

The NLC had originally stated that it would only call off its strike in the event that the government demonstrated its seriousness.

Anger-filled demonstrators attempted to storm the National Assembly’s doors on Wednesday during the demonstration in Abuja, hoping to get inside and meet with the MPs.

After the meeting with Tinubu, Joe Ajaero, the president of the NLC, stated that the President had made certain promises.
The public is anticipated to be briefed shortly by the labor center.
