Nigerian labour unions have suspended their nationwide strike for five days to give room for uninterrupted meetings with the tripartite committee on the new national minimum wage.
The President of the Trade Union Congress, Festus Osifo, disclosed the development to newsmen on Tuesday in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
Osifo spoke after the organs of Organised Labour met in Abuja on Tuesday, following a position presented to it by the Federal Government team at a late-night meeting.
The meeting, convened by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, promised that President Bola Tinubu would approve a minimum wage above N60,000 for workers.
