The Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress have suspended their planned protest in the Federal Capital Territory and instructed workers under the Federal Capital Territory Administration to return to their duties with immediate effect.

The directive followed an overnight engagement involving labour leaders, the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, and members of the Senate Committee on the FCT.

The meeting, which began late on Monday, stretched into the early hours of Tuesday, culminating in an agreement that led to the unions’ decision to halt the protest action and restore normal activities across FCTA offices.
