Labour suspends nationwide strike

0

Organised labour has called off the nationwide industrial action scheduled to commence today, Tuesday .

The strike was to pressure the government  for a new national minimum wage.

The National Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Ayuba Wabba, announced the suspension at the end of last night’s meeting of the committee set up to come up with the new minimum wage on Monday.

“Having reached this position and agreements signed, the proposed strike action is hereby suspended,” the labour leader said.

Wabba, however, refused to disclose the figure of the new minimum wage arrived at by the committee.

He said the figure would only be made public after the committee’s report would have been presented to President Muhammadu Buhari by 4.15pm on Tuesday.
