Nlc, Tuc Suspend Planned Nationwide Strike

POSTED ON June 6, 2023 •   Uncategorized      BY Akinbohun Samuel

The planned statewide walkout against the elimination of gasoline subsidies has been put on hold, according to the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC).

After a meeting between the federal government and the unions at Aso Rock on Monday night, this was revealed by the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila.

He stated that the Federal Government, the TUC, and the NLC would form a joint committee to examine any proposed pay increases or awards and to devise a plan and timetable for implementation.

According to a statement released following the meeting, "The Federal Government, the TUC, and the NLC would review the World Bank-financed Cash transfer scheme and propose including low-income earners in the program."

The NLC and TUC had already vowed to go on strike on Wednesday.

The National Industrial Court in Abuja had already instructed the labor unions not to go on strike, according to a previous article by ROCKET PARROT.

On Wednesday of last week, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited unveiled a new national petrol pricing structure.

Fuel pump prices increased as a result of the event from N197 per litre to above N500.

Gbajabiamila continued by saying that it was decided during the meeting to assess the problems impeding successful delivery in the education sector and to provide solutions for their implementation.

The Federal Government and the Labor Centers are to study and develop the framework for finishing the nation's refineries' restoration.

"The Federal Government offers a framework for national rail network expansion and road upkeep.

"The joint committee will evaluate all other demands submitted by the TUC to the Federal Government," he stated.

He emphasized that the NLC has decided to immediately postpone the notice of strike in order to facilitate more talks, continue the existing dialogues, and achieve resolution on the resolutions.

The NLC and TUC Presidents and Secretaries, as well as Ms. Kachollom Daju, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Labour Employment, all supported the motion.
