The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has confirmed the suspension of its planned strike following the intervention of President Bola Tinubu and the Senate.
The resolution followed the National Executive Council meeting of the Congress.
In a short message on Thursday morning, National treasurer of NLC, Hakeem Ambali, said, “ Protest suspended due to the Senate intervention and meeting with President Tinubu yesternight.”
The NLC held a nation wide protest across the country on Wednesday, against high cost of petrol which has led to serious hardship among Nigerians.
During the protest in Abuja on Wednesday, angry protesters pulled down the gates of the National Assembly in a bid to gain access to the premises so as to meet with the lawmakers.
The NLC president, Joe Ajaero, said the government had made some commitments following a meeting with Tinubu.
