The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) have suspended their strike for one week.

The strike which commenced yesterday was called to protest the failure of the Federal Government to approve new minimum wage by May 31 as well as its failure to reverse the hike in electricity tariff.

After a meeting with the leadership of organised labour in Abuja on Monday night, the Federal Government expressed its commitment to go above the N60,000 it earlier offered as the minimum wage.
