 ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) - Labor leaders said Friday that a resolution to Nigeria's general strike was possible within days, marking the first sign of a softening in labor's stance since the strike began earlier this week.
"We came together. We assessed the progress and planned ahead," said Abulwahed Omar, head of the blue-collar Nigerian Labor Congress. "We expect that before Monday that this issue will be resolved, otherwise the strike continues."
The strike began Wednesday after the government offered to halve an earlier fuel-price hike, but refused to roll it back entirely as demanded by the labor unions.
