he leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) was observed at the presidential villa in Abuja on Monday, October 2, 2023. They convened for a meeting with the federal government to deliberate on whether the planned nationwide strike would proceed as scheduled.

It should be recalled that the union leaders had earlier declared an indefinite nationwide strike set to commence on Tuesday, October 3, in response to the economic hardships resulting from the removal of the fuel subsidy.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who took office in May, implemented significant reforms, including the removal of the fuel subsidy and liberalizing the country’s currency, the naira. These measures, while deemed necessary by officials, led to a threefold increase in fuel costs and an inflation rate of 25 percent.

In response to the impending strike, the government engaged in discussions late on Sunday and proposed a package of measures. This package included a N35,000 ($45) monthly pay increase for federal employees over six months, a temporary suspension of VAT on diesel, and social security cash transfers to the most economically vulnerable Nigerians.

Representatives from the NLC and TUC took the government’s offer back to their membership for further deliberations on Monday. Subsequently, they were scheduled to resume talks with the government.

NLC spokesman Benson Upah stated, “We have just concluded the meeting with a mandate to the leadership to perfect its discussion with government.”

Among the government’s proposals was the introduction of gas-powered buses for public transportation to mitigate rising transport costs, which have been a significant concern for Nigerians.

Government officials expressed hope that the unions would call off the strike following the presentation of the package of proposals.

In an earlier address for Nigeria’s Independence Day on Sunday, President Tinubu acknowledged the hardships faced by the nation’s citizens due to recent reforms. He expressed a desire that these difficulties did not exist but emphasized the importance of enduring them to secure a better future.
