The Nigeria Labour Congress NLC and Trade Union Congress TUC have  agreed to suspend for 30 days, the planned indefinite nationwide strike.

The Organized Labour industrial action is scheduled to begin, Tuesday, October 3, 2023. 

The strike is to protest against hardships being faced by Nigerians due to removal of fuel subsidy by President Bola Tinubu.

The consent to suspend the strike is contained in a memorandum of understanding reached late Monday between the Federal Government, NLC and TUC, as a result of disputes arising from the removal of fuel subsidy.

The memorandum was signed by NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, the Secretary, Comrade Emmanuel Ugboaja, TUC President, Comrade (Engr) Festus Osifo, the Secretary, Comrade Nuhu A. Toro,H.E. Simon Bako Lalong; Minister of Labour and Employment  Dr Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, Minister of State for Labour and Employment and Mallam Mohammed Idris, Minister of Information and National Orientation from the FG side.

The agreement reads: “The Federal Government grants a wage award of N35,000 (thirty-five thousand Naira) only to all Federal Government workers beginning from the month of September pending when a new national minimum wage is expected to have been signed into law.

“A minimum wage committee shall be inaugurated within one month from the date of this agreement.

 “Federal Government suspends collection of Value Added Tax (VAT) on Diesel for six months beginning from October, 2023.

“Federal Government accepts to vote N100 billion for the provision of high capacity CNG buses for mass transit in Nigeria. Provisions are also being made for initial 55,000 CNG conversion kits to kick start an auto gas conversion programme, whilst work is ongoing on state-of-the-art CNG stations nationwide. The rollout aims to commence by November with pilots across 10 campuses nationwide.

“The Federal Government plans to implement various tax incentive measures for private sector and the general public.

“On the leadership crises rocking the NURTW and the purported proscription of RTEAN, the Federal Government commits to handling Labour matters in line with relevant ILO Conventions and Nigerian Labour Acts. A resolution of the ongoing impasse is expected by or before October 13.

” The issue of outstanding Salaries and Wages of Tertiary Education workers in Federal-owned educational institutions is being referred to the Ministry of Labour and Employment for further engagement.

* The Federal Government commits to pay N25,000 per month for three months starting from October, 2023 to 15 million households, including vulnerable pensioners.

* The Federal Government will increase its initiatives on subsidized distribution of fertilizers to farmers across the country.

* The Federal Government should urge State Government through the National Economic Council and Governors Forum to implement wage award for their workers. Similar consideration should also be given to local government and private sector workers.

“The Federal Government commits to the provision of funds as announced by the President on the 1st of August broadcast to the Nation for Micro and Small Scale Enterprises. The MSMEs beneficiaries should commit to the principle of decent jobs.

” A joint visitation will be made to the refineries to ascertain their rehabilitation status.
