The labour leaders had earlier warned the government to either reverse the action or face a shutdown of the country on Wednesday, May 18.
The President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Ayuba Wabba has confirmed the development.
Meanwhile, Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has said that the government had no choice but to hike the price of fuel.
