THE Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) called off its two-day warning strike today, urging its members across the country to return to work.
In a statement, NLC President Joe Ajaero lauded Nigerian workers for participating in the strike, saying it was a big step forward.
Labour went on a two-day nationwide strike yesterday and today against the Federal Government’s failure to meet agreements on the withdrawal of petrol subsidies.
Labour’s decision paralyzed economic and commercial activity in various 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.”
