Nigerian labor unions suspended strikes and protests in Africa’s top crude producer after President Goodluck Jonathan limited gasoline-price increases.
The Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress “decided that in order to save lives and in the interest of national survival, these mass actions be suspended,” the two labor federations said in a statement today in Abuja, the capital. They also urged the government to release protesters detained during demonstrations over the past week.
