THE United Labour Congress (ULC) has stated that its ongoing national strike has been suspended to allow for negotiations to continue.
According to a statement from the President of ULC, Comrade Joe Ajaero, the union decided to suspend the strike after the meeting with the delegation of the Federal Government led by Hon Minister of Labour and Productivity, Dr Chris, Nigeria in Abuja on Wednesday.
He stated that this would allow for negotiations to continue and to avoid the impending hardship which continuation may have meant for Nigerians.
“All affiliates and state councils throughout Nigeria are requested to suspend action until further notice. ULC wishes to thank all that have solidarised with us and those that have shown willingness to join us if the action had continued despite not being our affiliates.
“All parties have agreed to recommence negotiation next week so that areas of disagreement will be addressed adequately,” he said.
