Recall that Bello and former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode had met with the union in order to lift the embargo on foodstuffs which prevented farm produce in the North from crossing down to the South.

The union decided to suspend their strike on Wednesday after Bello and Fani-Kayode held a series of meetings with their leadership.
