Unions: Nigeria strike over fuel resumes Monday

(AP) ? Two major labor unions in Nigeria say a paralyzing nationwide strike will resume Monday after negotiations with the government failed.

The Nigeria Labor Congress and the Trade Union Congress issued a joint statement Sunday confirming strikes would continue.

The strikes began Jan. 9 over spiraling gasoline prices following the removal of an estimated $8 billion in fuel subsidies in Africa's most populous nation. The unions said they want the government to return prices to the subsidized price, though the government has only said it will reduce current prices.
