The Nigerian Labour Congress has called off its two-day warning strike on Wednesday, requesting that its members across the country return to work.
NLC President Joe Ajaero released a statement praising the strike’s success and thanking Nigerian workers for their participation.On Wednesday, the Nigeria Labour Congress called off its nationwide warning strike that had been going on for two days.
Labour went on a two-day national strike on Tuesday and Wednesday because the Federal Government hadn’t kept its promises regarding the removal of petrol subsidies.
The decision by the Labour stopped business and economic activity in a number of states of the Federation.
“We are pleased to report that, thanks to your resolute commitment, we have made significant strides in achieving the goals set during our National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, which prompted the initiation of this warning strike,” Ajaero said.
“It is abundantly clear that our united message has resonated loudly with the government, and it would take a truly inattentive ear not to hear it.
“As we mark the end of the two-day nationwide warning strike today, at the stroke of midnight, we earnestly call upon you all to gracefully conclude the strike and return to work tomorrow, in accordance with our initial agreement.”
