Wabba told journalists the decision to call off the strike came after an emergency meeting of the National Executive Council of the NLC.Also present at the briefing include,activist and lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN).
“After an exhaustive deliberation, NEC noted its protest action was informed by the twin issues of the unjustified and illegal hike in electricity tariff and increase in the pump price of petroleum products,”
“In consideration of the above, NEC after due consultation with its constituents resolved to suspend with immediate effect, the action it commenced on Wednesday, May 18, 2016. The action is thus hereby suspended,”Wabba said.
He commended all those who participated in the action, stating that the union is committed to genuine dialogue within the framework of internationally established and recognized principles of representation with it and the Nigerian government.
