The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and other labour unions have suspended the planned nationwide strike scheduled for Tuesday 6th, November.
NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, announced the suspension of the strike after a closed door meeting of Tripartite Committee on new minimum wage.
“Having reached this position and agreements signed, the proposed strike action is hereby suspended,” he said.
Wabba, however, refused to disclose the exact figure agreed at by the committee.
Chairman of the Tripartite Committee, Ama Pepple, expressed her excitement that their assignment had been concluded.
“I am happy to report to you that we have concluded our assignment and we will submit our report to the President by 4.15pm on Tuesday.
“We will reveal the figure at the presentation,” she assured.
Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige, also said a mutual agreement on the new minimum wage would be made public after a meeting with the president.
Secretary to the Government of the federation, Boss Mustapha, hailed the resolution of the matter by all parties involved.
He added that overriding interest of Nigerians prevailed at the meeting.
