In order to allow for an uninterrupted meeting with the tripartite committee on the new national minimum wage, Organised Labour has decided to halt the statewide strike for a duration of five days.
This was made known by an insider with the Labour leaders.
As previously reported, labour leaders met with Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume and other government representatives on Monday, successfully resolving to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to a minimum wage increase to N60,000.
They equally resolved that the Tripartite Committee would meet every day for the next one week with a view to arriving at an agreeable National Minimum Wage.
Today at a meeting with FG Tripartite Committee scheduled by 10am, Labour suspended its srike.
With this development, every government and private offices are expected to reopen and function as usual.
