In a significant development, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have decided to suspend their planned indefinite nationwide strike action, scheduled to begin on Tuesday, October 3, 2023, for a period of 30 days.

This decision followed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) reached between the Organised Labour and the Federal Government of Nigeria at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Monday night.

Recall that a strike notice had been issued by the NLC and TUC to all its members and affiliate groups, in response to the withdrawal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) or petrol by the Federal Government, leading to an increase in fuel prices with concomitant adverse effect on workers and Nigerians at large.

Key points of the MoU include: “The Federal Government’s commitment to a wage award of N35,000 for all Federal Government workers, starting from September, until a new national minimum wage is enacted

“The establishment of a minimum wage committee within one month from the date of the agreement.
