Nigeria’s trade unions have suspended a general strike by workers that almost brought economic activity to a halt this week.
The decision comes after the government promised to increase the national minimum wage to at least 60,000 naira ($40, £32) a month.
This falls below the $330 that unions have been demanding, but is double the current monthly wage.
The strike began on Monday and led to the shutdown of the country’s power grid, leaving millions without electricity.
Government and union representatives say they will now meet every day for a week for further negotiations in the hopes of a permanent resolution.
