Recall that Legit.ng had reported that NLC and TUC have accepted deregulation as a policy.

NLC reluctantly accepted this after it was pressured by other unions. The decision was influenced by petrol marketers, tanker owners and other stakeholders.

The federal government also accepted to reverse the increment in the electricity tariffs.

Legit.ng had also reported that Labour unions suspended their planned nationwide strike scheduled for Monday, September 28.

The strike was suspended after the federal government reached an agreement with the unions following negotiations that stretched to 2:53 am on Monday morning.

The minister of state, labour, and employment, Festus Keyamo, tweeted that as part of the negotiations, the government will suspend the electricity tariff hike for two weeks pending when a committee set up would examine the justifications for the new policy.
