August 3, 2023 NLC/TUC Suspend Strike Action

The Organised Labour Unions in Nigeria; Nigeria Labor Congress(NLC)  and Trade Union Congress (TUC), has suspended its proposed strike action. This is barely 24 hours after Nationwide protests held.

The President of Trade Union Congress, Festus Osifo made this known during an interview with Newsmen on this morning.

He said the Labour leaders who had earlier met with President Bola Tinubu extracted some commitments to some of the issues raised during the meeting for immediate implementation.

He explained the suspension of the strike was based on the outcome of the meeting.

However, the Nigeria Labour Congress had earlier announced that it would proceed with the nationwide mass protest as initially planned, following a meeting with the Federal Government.

The NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero noted that the outcome of the meeting with the government did not yield positive any changes or concessions that would alter their course of action. They stressed that they remained steadfast in their commitment to representing the Nigerian workers’ and people’s interests and desires.
