The Organised Labour has suspended the nationwide strike for one week to give room for uninterrupted meeting with the tripartite committee on the new national minimum wage.

Source within the Labour unions disclosed this on Tuesday.

It would be recalled that the Union leaders had a successful meeting with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, George Akume, and other government officials on Monday and reached a resolution that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was committed to a new minimum wage higher than N60,000.

They equally resolved that the Tripartite Committee would meet every day for the next one week with a view to arriving at an agreeable National Minimum Wage.

Today at a meeting with FG Tripartite Committee scheduled by 10am, Labour suspended its strike.

With this development, every government and private offices are expected to reopen and function as usual.
