Nigerian trade unions on Tuesday ended an eight-day general strike to protest fuel price increases and accepted a compromise price deal offered by the government. Leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), who met all night to consider the government offer, settled for 34 naira (US $0.26) for a litre of petrol or a 31 percent hike instead of the 54 percent increase announced by President Olusegun Obasanjo's government on 20 June.
