The Organized Labour has suspended the general strike by workers that has brought economic activity to a halt this week.
The decision comes after the government promised to increase the national minimum wage to at least 60,000 naira a month.
This falls below the that unions have been demanding, but is double the current monthly wage.
Recall that the strike began on Monday and led to the shutdown of the country’s power grid, Many flights were also cancelled in the country’s busiest airport in Lagos, and in the capital, Abuja, with passengers left stranded.
Schools, offices and hospitals across the country have also been closed.
This strike is the fourth since President Bola Tinubu came to power a year ago.
According to the union, they will meet with the Federal Government every day for a week for further negotiations.
