The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have decided to suspend their planned strike, which was scheduled for June 7th.

The decision was made after a meeting between representatives of the Federal Government and the Organised Labour at the Presidential Villa on June 5th.

The meeting was held to discuss fuel subsidy removal.

The agreement reached between the NLC, TUC, and the team set up by President Bola Tinubu includes the establishment of a joint committee to review proposals for wage increases or awards, the review of the World Bank Financed Cash transfer scheme to include low-income earners, and the revival of the CNG conversion programme.

The parties also agreed to review and establish a framework for the completion of the rehabilitation of the nation’s refineries, provide a framework for the maintenance of roads and expansion of rail networks, and review issues hindering effective delivery in the education sector.

The NLC will suspend the notice of strike forthwith to enable further consultations, and the TUC and NLC will continue ongoing engagements with the Federal Government to secure closure on the resolutions above.

The parties will meet on June 19th, 2023, to agree on an implementation framework.

Earlier on June 5th, the National Industrial Court restrained the Organised Labour from embarking on any form of strike.

The Motion of Notice is fixed for hearing on June 19th, 2023.
