The Nigeria Labour Congress has suspended its nationwide protests slated for Thursday 27 and February 2.
The congress took the decision at its National Executive Council meeting held virtually on Tuesday.
The NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, who broke the news at a press conference hinged the decision to suspend the protests on the reversal of the Federal Government’s plan to stop the subsidy on petrol.
He said members of the NLC who had been mobilised would be demobilised following the decision to suspend the protests.
NLC explained that after a rigorous mobilization of Nigerians by the Nigeria Labour Congress and a host of her civil society allies, the government through the Minister of Finance yesterday, January 24, 2022, made a public announcement reversing the plans to increase petrol pump price.
