The strike, which lasted seven days, was sparked by the state’s plan to start implementing the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) on July 1, despite allegedly failing to remit over ₦82 billion in deductions to pension fund administrators over the past 14 years.

The statement, signed by NLC Chairman Hameed-Benco Ademola, TUC Chairman Akeem Lasisi, and JNC Chairman Isa Olude, described the suspension as temporary and urged workers to remain watchful.
“Though the strike is suspended, the struggle is not over,” the labour leaders said. “We are monitoring the state government closely to ensure all promises made are fulfilled.”
They also praised the workforce for standing firm and showing solidarity during the strike.
