The Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) have suspended their planned industrial strike scheduled to take off on Wednesday.
This happened after a dialogue with the federal government on Monday night.
The meeting resulted in the signing of a documented agreement between the two labour unions and the federal government.
The document, obtained by EGALITARIAN VOICE, showed that the labour unions agreed to shelve their intended action following an agreement that the government would constitute some committees to look into the contentious issues.
