The Organised Labour has decided to suspend its nationwide strike for a period of five days. This temporary suspension will allow for uninterrupted meetings between the labour union and the tripartite committee on the new national minimum wage.
A reliable source within the labour union leadership, who preferred to remain anonymous, disclosed this new development to Vanguard.
Previously, Vanguard reported on the resolutions reached regarding the minimum wage after Labour leaders held a meeting with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, and other government officials on Monday night. During the meeting, Akume confirmed the commitment of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to paying a minimum wage of more than N60,000.
In addition, Akume assured that workers who participated in the strike would not face any repercussions. Furthermore, he announced that the tripartite committee would be convening daily over the next week to finalize the details of the new minimum wage.
Following the scheduled 10 a.m. meeting with the FG Tripartite Committee today (Tuesday), Labour made the decision to temporarily suspend the strike. As a result, all government and private offices are expected to reopen and operate as usual.
