BREAKING: NLC, TUC Suspend Nationwide Strike
The organised labour is protesting against the alleged brutalisation of its National President, Joe Ajaero, and the failure of the government to implement some of the agreements reached on October 2, 2023 effectively.
The Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress suspended the ongoing nationwide strike on Wednesday night.
According to the unions, the suspension was prompted by the participation of Nuhu Ribadu, the National Security Adviser.
The meeting, which began a few minutes after 7 p.m., lasted about an hour, during which various affiliates and state chapters discussed the outcome of the meeting between organised labour leaders and Ribadu.
Tommy Etim, the TUC’s National Deputy Vice-President, revealed this in an interview with PUNCH in Abuja.
“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.
Recall that the labour leaders met with Ribadu alongside the Minister of Labour, Simon Lalong, at the Office of the NSA on Wednesday afternoon.
The NSA had announced that the individuals responsible for the brutalisation of Ajaero had been arrested.
