Naira Scarcity: NLC suspends planned strike for two weeks

The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has suspended its planned strike over the scarcity of naira notes across the country.

NLC had planned to begin a nationwide indefinite strike from tomorrow, (Wednesday, March 29) and picketing of CBN offices across the country over the cash crunch that had brought untold hardships to Nigerians and businesses.

At the end of its National Executive Council, NEC, meeting this afternoon, leaders of NLC gave the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, two weeks to normalise the money supply nationwide.

The labour union had last week directed all its affiliated unions to embark on a nationwide strike starting from tomorrow, Wednesday, March 29, 2023.
