The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has suspended an indefinite strike 48hours after it began its indefinite strike. The suspension is said to be for a week in order to continue talks with the government over a new minimum wage.

The two biggest union federations, the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), shut down the national grid and disrupted flights across the country on Monday, June 3, to begin their planned indefinite strike over the government’s failure to agree a new minimum wage.

Unions and the government met late on Monday for talks where the government said it was open to a higher monthly minimum wage than the amount of 60,000 naira ($41.38) it had proposed. But a new amount is yet to be announced.

The unions had demanded a 16-fold rise in the minimum wage to 494,000 naira a month, from 30,000 naira.

“After an extraordinary … meeting today, it was decided that the ongoing strike be suspended for the next one week and we will continue negotiation with the government … on minimum wage,” TUC president, Festus Osifo, said.

“Failure on the part of government to conclude with labour within one week shall prompt the organised labour to resume the strike without further notice,” said Tayo Aboyeji, an NLC secretary.

Labour leaders met with their affiliates on Tuesday and Osifo told reporters that the government had been given a one-week ‘grace’ period to come up with an agreeable minimum wage.

President Bola Tinubu has been under pressure to reverse his decision to scrap a popular petrol subsidy that had kept fuel prices low but was costly on government finances.

Earlier, the head of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) said it was holding off from recalling workers from offshore rigs pending the outcome of talks between the government and labour on Tuesday.

NUPENG represents workers across the oil and gas sectors, including upstream oil platform workers, fuel tanker drivers, and pump attendants and its decision on the strike is closely watch by oil markets and could lead to a significant escalation of the unions’ dispute with the government.
