Following the closed door discussion with the Federal Government over a new minimum wage, Organized Labour has called off the ongoing Strike for a week.
The reason for the suspension of the Nationwide Strike that started yesterday, June 3, 2024, was for negotiations to continue.
The Organized Labour said that the five days suspension of the strike is to give room for uninterrupted meeting with the tripartite committee on the new national minimum wage.
It was gathered that the Labour leaders had a successful meeting with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, George Akume, and other government officials and reached a resolution that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was committed to a new minimum wage higher than 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.
A source within the Labour leadership disclosed that , “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.
