JUST IN: Organised labour suspends nationwide strike

The Organised Labour in Nigeria has suspended the nationwide strike which commenced on Tuesday November 14, 2023 to protest the brutalisation of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) president, Comrade Joe Ajaero in Owerri , the Imo state capital.

This news blog gathered that the decision to suspend the action was reached at an emergency visual joint National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of NLC and Trade Union Congress (TUC).

The NEC in session agreed to suspend the industrial action following a plea by the National Security Adviser (NSA) Malam Nuhu Ribadu .

The organised Labour had earlier held a meeting with the NSA who begged the workers to end the industrial action to allow for amicably resolution to the issues.

A source at the joint NEC meeting of the organised Labour told Blueprint that workers agreed to give Malam Ribadu benefit of doubt as he pledged to resolve the impasse.
