Members of the organised labour groups comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress, on Tuesday, suspended their strike for five days.
Jerrymusa.com reports that the labour centres are set to issue a statement shortly, ahead of negotiations with the government.
The strike, which commenced on Monday, was called to protest the Federal Government’s failure to approve a new minimum wage by May 31 and its refusal to reverse the hike in electricity tariff.
Outcome of The Meeting
Following a six-hour meeting with labour leaders in Abuja on Monday night, the Federal Government committed to increasing the proposed N60,000 minimum wage, with President Bola Tinubu pledging to establish a higher national minimum wage.
The agreement states that the Tripartite Committee will convene daily for the next week to finalise an agreeable National Minimum Wage.
Organised labour also agreed to hold meetings to consider the new offer, with assurance that no worker will face victimisation for participating in the industrial action.
The resolutions were signed by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, and Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha.
