The organised Labour, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) have suspended the nationwide strike for one week
The union suspended the strike after its national executive council (NEC) meeting held in Abuja on Tuesday.
DAILY GIST recalls that the congress had embarked on nationwide strike over new minimum wage and the hike in electricity tariff.
However, the Labour reached an agreement with the federal government on a new minimum wage during an emergency meeting on Monday.
The federal government agreed to increase the minimum wage beyond the initially proposed N60,000.
This was according to a resolution released by Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume.
