The Nigerian Labour Congress in Niger State has suspended the indefinite strike action it embarked upon five days ago.
The suspension of the strike follows an agreement between organised labour and the state government on immediate implementation of the new minimum wage of thirty thousand naira and the consequential adjustments on salaries of civil servants.
