The leadership of the Amalgamated Union of Foodstuff and Cattle Dealers of Nigeria (AUFCDN) has agreed to end the blockade of supplies to the south.
The strike entailed the closure of all routes between the North and South for vehicles conveying cattle and food items.
The vehicles were prevented from reaching the Southern region of the country.
However, the union reached an agreement to end the strike during a meeting with Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State in Abuja on Wednesday.
Abdullahi Tom, a youth leader of the cattle dealers, confirmed that the union has agreed to suspend the strike action.
Recall that last week, the union commenced a strike action to protest the attack on some of their members during the #EndSARS protests and the Shasha market crisis in Ibadan, Oyo state.
The federal government was given a seven-day ultimatum to assess the situation and look into their demands, which includes to protect their members and also pay the sum of N475 billion as compensation for the lives of their members and properties lost.
AUFCDN demanded the dismantling of all roadblocks on federal highways where their members are being constantly harassed and money extorted from them by security operatives.
