Nigerian oil workers have suspended their 3-day warning strike.

The Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, had embarked on strike over what it deemed unfavorable staff welfare.

The union has however called off the strike after a meeting with some government officials and representatives of oil companies held in Abuja.

Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, said two weeks have been fixed to settle the grievances of the union.
