Nigerian labor unions suspended on Monday a planned strike over fuel and power price rises after talks with the government, Labour and Employment Minister Festus Keyamo said in a statement on Twitter.

The strike was due to begin on Monday but Keyamo said an agreement was reached between the government and unions at 2:53 a.m. (0153 GMT). "Strike suspended," he wrote in the statement.
