NLC suspends two-day warning protest
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has suspended its two-day protest all over the country.
The Congress had on Tuesday led Nigerians out to protest the current economic hardship in the country.
The NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) had last week planned a nationwide rally for February 27 and February 28 to protest the rising prices of food items and other costs of living in the country. TUC, however, withdrew from the protest last Saturday.

A last-minute meeting between the Federal Government and organized labour to stave off the protest ended in a stalemate on Monday night.
The NLC announced the suspension of the protest in a communiqué issued at the end of its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting on Tuesday evening in Abuja.
It added that the objectives of the protest were achieved on the first day of the nationwide rally.
The communiqué read: “Consequently, NEC-in-session resolved as follows: to suspend street action for the second day of the protest having achieved overwhelming success and thus attained the key objectives of the 2-day protest on the first day.”
