The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has suspended its five days warning strike in Kaduna State.
The NLC President, Ayuba Wabba said the decision to suspend the strike was to honour the invitation of the Federal Government on Thursday to mediate in the dispute between labour and the Kaduna State Government.
The two major coalitions, NLC and Trade Union Congress (TUC) commenced the one-week warning strike on Monday which led to the shutdown of electricity, airports, schools etc in the state.
On Tuesday, the Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige while intervening on the matter called on Kaduna State Government and Labour unions to observe a ‘ceasefire.’
In resolving the crisis, the minister of Labour has invited that the leaderships of the unions for a conciliatory meeting.
“I am therefore constrained in the exercise of my powers as the Minister of Labour and Employment, under the Trade Disputes Act, CAP. T8, Laws of Federation of Nigeria (LFN) 2004; to invite you and your top officials to the emergency trade dispute conciliation meeting,” he said.
