The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has suspended the five-day warning strike in Kaduna state following a request for negotiations by the federal government.
Members of the labour union had embarked on the strike over the decision of the state government to disengage 4,000 workers across the 23 LGAs.
The Kaduna government had said the decision was taken because the huge wage bill wasn’t sustainable.
Nasir el-Rufai, Kaduna governor, had accused the NLC members of economic sabotage and declared their leaders wanted.
Announcing the suspension, the NLC President, Ayuba Wabba said the decision is to honour the invitation of the Federal Government on Thursday, 20 May, to mediate in the dispute between labour and the Kaduna State Government.
