Organized Labour has suspended its industrial action for one week.
The strike was embarked upon on Monday, over a lack of consensus on a new minimum wage and the hike in electricity tariff.
The suspension was confirmed in Abuja a short while ago by the President of the Trade Union Congress, Festus Osifo, after a joint extraordinary national executive council meeting of the unions.
Osifo disclosed that a joint NEC meeting of the Trade Union Congress and the Nigerian Labour Congress has approved to relax the industrial action for one week with immediate effect.
Both unions withdrew services on Monday, and this grounded activities in critical sectors of the economy with schools, businesses, hospitals, and airports being shut down.
The national grid was also shut down, throwing the nation into darkness.
