Addressing reporters on Wednesday, Tahir said the government agreed to ensure protection of the union’s members and stop multiple taxation as well as intimidation by security officials on the highways.

“All stakeholders and members of AUFCDN in our nationwide strike are glad we achieved what we wanted to achieve. Since Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello begged us on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria, we agreed to call off the nationwide strike today…”

Addressing the aggrieved unionists during the reconciliatory meeting, Governor Bello said the blockade had led to increase in hardship that majority of Nigerians were already passing through, including members of the union.

The governor and Fani-Kayode, later tabled the union’s demands before the government through the Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari.
