Workers of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), have suspended their industrial action after a meeting with the government on Friday.
The workers had earlier embarked on the industrial action on Thursday, citing poor allowances and poor welfare – especially as regards COVID-19, as reasons for the strike.
However, the President of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, NIMC unit, Asekokhai Lucky, made known to press on Friday that the industrial action had been suspended after a meeting with the Federal Government, where it was agreed that the demands of the employees would be addressed.
He added that workers of the commission across the country will be contacted to resume work by Monday and proceed with the enrolment of Nigerians for their National Identity Numbers.
