Nigeria: Fuel truck drivers workers suspend nationwide strike following talks with government Feb. 20 /update 1

The Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) has called off an indefinite nationwide strike following talks with the government on Feb. 20. The purpose of the action that began on Feb. 19 was to denounce high operational costs. NARTO represents drivers responsible for the transportation of petroleum products in Nigeria and the broader region.

Calls for fresh strikes may occur in the coming weeks if the union's demands are unmet.
