Nigeria Labour Congress has suspended it five days warning strike in Kaduna State to honour the invitation of the Federal Government tomorrow.
The suspension was announced by the
National President of NLC, Comrade Ayuba Wabba at an emergency meeting in Kaduna.
It comes just hours after the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige waded into the ongoing face-off between the Kaduna State government and labour unions by inviting both parties to a reconciliation meeting at the Ministry of Labour and Employment in the Federal Secretariat.
The meeting is to be attended by the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El Rufai and top officials of the State; s well as the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Ayuba Wabba and top NLC leaders.
It would be recalled that the NLC had rallied a 3-day protest following the disengagement of over seven thousand civil servants at the state and local governments by the Kaduna State government.
The strike has paralysed critical sectors of the economy in the state and the state governor Nasir El-Rufai in reaction declared the NLC Chairman and other leaders wanted for economic sabotage and attacks on public infrastructure in Kaduna State under the Miscellaneous Offences Act.
