The Organised Labour has explained why it suspended the nationwide indefinite strike that commenced on Nov. 14.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Emmanuel Ugboaja, General Secretary, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), explained the action in a statement he jointly signed by Mr Nuhu Toro, Secretary General, Trade Union Congress(TUC), on Wednesday in Abuja.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe NEC in session had a thorough review of the offers presented by the Federal Government through the National Security Adviser(NSA), Nuhu Ribadu.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe found the offers credible and decided to reconsider our action,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

It would be recalled that the organised labour earlier met with the NSA and the Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalong.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the meeting, we directed all affiliates and state councils of both the NLC and TUC to demobilise and cease any further escalation of the indefinite strike action.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe fully resume work tomorrow, Thursday, the 16th day of November 2023,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added that a resolution was reached to suspend the ongoing nationwide strike, which commenced on the 14th of November, 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Ugboaja, the suspension is intended to facilitate further discussions after the federal government had met crucial demands.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect government to address the distressing abduction and brutalisation of the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, and others.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese incidents occurred in the hands of the Police and Gov. Hope Uzodimma\u2019s thugs in Owerri, in Imo, on the 1st day of November 2023,\u201d he recalled.<\/span><\/p>\n

He noted that an apology was tendered on behalf of the government by the NSA, who promised to coordinate the investigation.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added that some of the perpetrators had been arrested while others would be fished out and prosecuted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ugboaja said that high-powered investigation was currently being carried out, and the leadership of labour centres would be briefed continuously as progress is being made.<\/span><\/p>\n

He commended all affiliates and state councils for their unwavering commitment and tenacity that made the strike a success.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOnce again, we convey our appreciation for your cooperation, resilience, and determination in ensuring the success of the indefinite nationwide strike.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage you to remain vigilant as we await the fulfilment of the remaining agreements,\u201d he said. <\/span><\/p>\n
