Nigeria’s General Strike Called Off

Trade unions in Nigeria suspended their nation-wide strike Monday.

The unions began the strike last week to protest against the government’s decision to end a fuel subsidy on January 1, which doubled the fuel prices there.

Now, President Goodluck Jonathan has agreed to restore part of the subsidy, cutting the prices by a third.
