Breaking News: NLC, TUC Suspend Indefinite Strike

The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union CONGRESS (TUC), on Wednesday night, resolved to suspend their ongoing indefinite nationwide strike.

The Labour unions said the suspension followed the intervention of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu.

The meeting which commenced at a few minutes past 7 pm lasted for close to one hour during which various affiliates and state chapters reviewed the outcome of the meeting held between the leaders of the organised labour and Ribadu.

The National Deputy Vice-President of the TUC, Tommy Etim, made this known in Abuja.

“The NEC of the NLC and the TUC have suspended the strike. We did this based on our trust for the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, who gave us his words,” he said.

The labour leaders met with Ribadu alongside the Minister of Labour, Simon Lalong, at the Office of the NSA on Wednesday afternoon.

Recall that both Labour Centres had directed their members and affiliate groups to commence an indefinite nationwide strike on Tuesday, November 14, 2023, over the brutalisation of the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, allegedly by Policemen in Owerri, Imo State, on November 1, and the failure of the government to implement some of the agreements reached on October 2, 2023, effectively.
