The development was the outcome of a meeting with officials of Federal Government delegation led by the Minister of Labour and employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, and representatives of multinational oil companies in Abuja.
The groups also issued the Federal Government a two-week ultimatum to implement the agreement reached at the meeting.
“All issues have been addressed one after the other. We are very satisfied with the commitment shown,” the President, NUPENG, Mr. Igwe Achese, said.

“I hope that all parties will be committed to implement the agreement.
“We have therefore decided to call off the three- day warning strike.‘’
NUPENG had explained that its decision to embark on the warning strike follows indiscriminate sack of workers without benefits and refusal to allow their workers to join union.
The union accused some IOCs, including Exxon/Mobil and Chevron Nigeria Limited, of unfair labour practices, especially perceived unprocedural sack of workers without benefits, breach of Nigerian extant labour laws in their divestment exercises.
