The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has suspended the previously planned strike action intended to commence on Wednesday 7th June, 2023. The strike action which was intended to express displeasure over the announcement of the removal of petrol subsidy by Nigeria's newly inaugurated president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The decision to suspend the intending strike action was publicly announced by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila and confirmed by the President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, after a nearly six-hour meeting between the Federal Government and the organised labour at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Before the NLC's decision to suspend the intended strike action, the federal government had on Monday 5th June, obtained an interim order from the National Industrial Court restraining the NLC from embarking on its proposed strike action. Prior to the announcement of a suspension of the proposed strike action by the Labour Congress, other unions like the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria and the Trade Union Congress had also announced intentions to embark on a strike action on the same day as the NLC's proposed strike action.
Before the suspension
of the planned strike, exola.net.ng have gathered many arguments for and
against the NLC. Some said, it is time for Joe Ajaero to cashout, some argued
he will not sell out.
Well today,
those arguments have been put to rest and it is still either way. A document
which carries the agreement of FG and the NLC has signed by both TUC president
and Joe Ajaero and Femi Gbajabiamila.
Take a look
at the document and tell us; did NLC sell out? Has Joe Ajaero cashed out?
