Nigeria's Labor Unions Suspend Strike After Government Wage Offer

Workers return to negotiate further as the government proposes a minimum wage increase to 60,000 naira, still below union demands.

Strike led to nationwide blackouts and flight cancellations, impacting millions.
Unions initially demanded a minimum wage increase to 494,000 naira, citing high living costs.
Government's offer of 60,000 naira is twice the current wage but far below union expectations.
Negotiations will continue daily for a week to reach an agreeable new wage.
Economic reforms and subsidy cuts by President Tinubu have exacerbated the cost-of-living crisis.
