- Gives two weeks for crisis resolution
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has suspended for two weeks, its ongoing strike in Imo State.
The suspension was announced by a statement issued by the NLC National President, Joe Ajaero, yesterday.
The statement said the suspension was due to interventions by “highly respected and well-meaning Nigerians from within and outside Imo State.”
The statement said the lifting of the industrial action was to enable residents vote for candidates of their choice during Saturday’s assembly election.
It said if at the end of two weeks, the government failed to reverse its anti- labour policies, NLC would resume the strike.
