The Nigeria Labour Congress has confirmed the suspension of its planned strike following the intervention of President Bola Tinubu and the Senate.
The resolution followed the National Executive Council meeting of the Congress.
The national treasurer, Hakeem Ambali, in a terse message on Thursday, said, “ Protest suspended due to the Senate intervention and meeting with President Tinubu yesternight.”
The NLC protest which was held on Wednesday across the federation, including the Federal Capital Territory prompted an emergency meeting between the President and the labour leaders.
Initially, the NLC had noted that it would only suspend its strike following a show of seriousness on the side of the government.

The NLC president, Joe Ajaero, following the meeting with Tinubu said the President had made some commitments.
The labour centre is expected to brief the public shortly.
