Trade Union Congress, TUC, on Saturday said the suspension of its October 1 nationwide strike was a temporary move.
The union noted that it remained conditional upon the fulfillment of the promise made by the President Bola Tinubu-led administration to fulfill the conditions enlisted in the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Federal Government and the Organised Labour.
Labour also dismissed the claim by governors that they would not implement the demands in the MoU between the Federal Government and the organized labour on the grounds that governors had rolled out palliatives for state civil servants and residents before the MoU was signed.
The National Deputy President of the Trade Union Congress, Tommy Etim, made these known in an interview with newsmen in Abuja on Saturday.
You will recall that the organized Labour and the Federal Government had signed a 15-point agreement in the MoU, which was made public on October 1, 2023.
On the progress reached so far with the government, the labour leader said, the 30-day ultimatum given by Labour to the federal government is still in place. He also noted that since the strike was suspended, it could be kickstarted without further notice.
