The Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) FCT chapter, has suspended its three-day warning strike which began on Monday across the six area councils.
Mr. Terry Isaac, the NULGE Secretary, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Abuja.
Isaac said that the union decided to suspend the strike after a meeting with the FCT Permanent Secretary.
He said that the FCT administration agreed to pay the three months salary arrears it owed the area councils’ workers before the end of next week.
“The management promised to pay one month salary within the week.
“But we are of the opinion that they pay the three months together before the end of next week which they agreed.
“We have endured for three months and we did not die and I believe we will not die before the end of next week.
“My advice to the workers is that we should give them the benefit of the doubt and resume work from Tuesday,’’ he said.
The secretary also said that failure to honour the agreement would lead to the union going on an indefinite strike.
