BREAKING: NLC Suspends Warning Strike

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has suspended its warning strike in Kaduna following Federal Government’s intervention.

NLC National President, Ayuba Wabba announced the suspension of the strike on Wednesday, saying they decided to suspend the strike to honour the invitation of the Nigerian Government.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige had moved to intervene in the stand-off between Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai and the NLC, which is fighting against the mass sacking of workers by the state governor.

Ngige has invited El-Rufai and Labour leaders led by the NLC president, Ayuba Wabba for a meeting on Thursday at the Conference Hall of the Minister’s Office in Abuja to resolve the crisis.
