The country's labour giants Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), have suspended the strike scheduled to commence today, Monday September, 28, after much pressure. The decision to shelve the strike to protest the increment in fuel prices and electricity tariffs by the unions was pegged on the agreement reached with the Federal Government at a meeting on Sunday conducted between 8:30 pm and 2:50am. They agreed to review their decision in another two weeks during which the DISCOs shall suspend the application of the cost-reflective electricity tariff adjustment.  According to the agreement between the federal government and organized labour both parties agreed to set up a technical committee on Electricity Tariff reforms comprising Ministries, Agencies, Departments, NLC and TUC, to review policy and look into the justification of the increase.

All is set for the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and their affiliate to proceed with the industrial action they planned last two weeks in protest of price hike of fuel and electricity despite Court injunction restraining them from taking such action, the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) has warned that it is ready to enforce the court order on the matter.

The organised Labour has yesterday insisted that come September 28, there is no going back on the industrial action unless the federal Government cave to their demand of reverting back the fuel and electricity prices to status co. The Nigerian Labor Congress (NLC) and the Trade union Congress (TUC) reiterated their position while having an expanded consultation with the federal government representatives at the Old Banquet Hall of the state House, Abuja.

The Joint Health Sector Unions has suspended its seven-day warning strike and directed its members nationwide to resume on Monday. According to JOHESU the decision was made following a meeting of the union's National Executive Council (NEC) which was held on Sunday. By the directive, all health workers under the five unions that made up the JOHESU and Assembly of Healthcare Professional Associations are expected to return to work across all the Federal Health Institutions in the country. In a statement signed by JOHESU's national chairman, Biobelemoye Josiah, the union said it suspended the industrial action not because it demands have been resolved by the government but to "sustain" the running of Nigeria's public health systems.

The United States has shown a commitment to review the immigrant visa ban placed on Nigerians earlier in the year as a result of the country's failure to comply with its established identity-management and information-sharing criteria. Speaking after the inaugural US/Nigeria Consular Forum meeting in Abuja yesterday, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Mustapha Suleiman, mentioned that the US was satisfied with the government's rate of meeting its demands, particularly in the area of information sharing. Suleiman said Nigeria has satisfied almost 90 percent of the requirements set by the US government, adding that the forum will serve as a platform where both countries can progress on bilateral relations and address issues for the benefits of citizens.

The National Industrial Court (NIC) had ordered members of the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) to immediately call off its industrial action that had commenced since 7th September 2020 which was initiated to drive home its demand for the government to meet its request among others, unpaid salaries, non-payment of hazard allowances, and the dearth of Personal Protective Equipment in hospitals earlier made in June this year.
