Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigeria Labour Congress is in an emergency National Executive Council meeting over the suspension of their strike action.<\/p>\n

A reliable source at the ongoing meeting in Abuja disclosed this on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

According to him, leaders of the Union are already discussing the possibility of suspending the strike owing to the meeting it had with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be premature to say we have suspended the strike action. We are meeting to consider that option\u201d, he told our correspondent.<\/p>\n

According to him, meeting details will be made known in hours.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that NLC embarked on a nationwide protest demanding the reversal of fuel subsidy removal and workers\u2019 pay increment.<\/p>\n

Consequently, the leadership of organized labour met with Tinubu at the Villa to halt further strike action.<\/p>\n

Tinubu, in a statement on Wednesday night by Dele Alake, his spokesperson, pledged to meet workers\u2019 demands.<\/p>\n

NLC had announced a nationwide strike action beginning on August 2, 2023.<\/p>\n
