 ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) - Labor unions on Saturday called off a strike aimed at overturning a government fuel-price hike, ending a four-day work stoppage that shut down most major economic activity in Africa's biggest oil producer, officials said.
Labor officials said they accepted a government proposal to hold off on raising fuel prices for a year, while accepting an earlier offer to halve the price increase that had sparked the strike.
Secretary General John Odah of the Nigerian Labor Congress, which led the action, told The Associated Press the strike had ended, and the government confirmed the deal.
