Nigerian strike suspended as cut in price of petrol agreed
Nigeria's unions have suspended their strike after the president agreed to cut the cost of petrol following a week of protests.
The strike was called after prices doubled when President Goodluck Jonathan removed a fuel subsidy on 1 January.
Earlier on Monday, he announced that he would restore part of this subsidy.
Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil producer but it imports almost all of its refined fuel.
