Bismillahi..
The Nigrerian Labour Congress has suspended its ongoing strike.
The strike commenced on September 26.
The National President of the NLC, Ayuba Wabba, announced the suspension of the strike at a press conference on Sunday in Abuja.
The suspension takes effect from today Sunday,” he said.
The suspension means workers are expected to resume duties on Tuesday as Monday has been declared a public holiday by the federal government to mark the October 1 Independence Day.
The workers are demanding a new minimum wage of about N50,000 instead of the current national minimum wage of N18,000.
Most state governors as well as proponents of true federalism have, however, argued that states should be allowed to set their own minimum wage especially as many states are barely able to pay the current N18,000 current minimum wage.
