The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has suspended its nationwide protest for Thursday and February 2.

The NLC said it took the decision at its National Executive Council meeting on Tuesday morning.

The Congress said the decision to suspend the protest was based on suspension of the proposal to stop subsidy on petrol by the Federal Government.

President of the NLC, Ayuba Wabba broke the news at a press conference on Tuesday in Abuja.

He said members of the NLC who had been mobilised would be demobilised following the decision to suspend the protest.
