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.
