The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has suspended its five days warning strike in Kaduna State.

Announcing the suspension on Wednesday evening, the NLC President, Ayuba Wabba said the decision is to honour the invitation of the Federal Government on Thursday to mediate in the dispute between labour and the Kaduna State Government.

The meeting scheduled is to be attended by the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El Rufai and top officials of the State as well as the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Ayuba Wabba and top NLC leaders.

Thursday’s reconciliatory meeting on the request of Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige comes three days after the NLC started a protest following the disengagement of over seven thousand civil servants at the state and local governments by the Kaduna State government.

The strike 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.
