Labour suspends nationwide strike
The planned nationwide strike by the labour unions over a new minimum wage has been shelved for now.
The strike was scheduled to start on Tuesday.
Recall that labour leaders had met with representatives of the government on Monday night.
Ama Pepple, Chairman of the tripartite committee set up by the federal government to come up with a new minimum wage for workers and former head of service of the federation, told reporters that after almost seven hours of the meeting, the committee resolved to submit the N24, 000 proposed by the federal government and N30, 000 insisted by labour unions, for consideration.
She said the committee is waiting for government’s decision on the report, disclosing that the meeting would reconvene by 10pm.
Chris Ngige, minister of labour, said the two figures will be forwarded to President Muhammadu Buhari.
