Nigeria fails to end strike threatening oil output
Nigeria's government and labor unions failed to resolve the nationwide strike over high gasoline costs raising the risk of an oil production shutdown. A key oil workers' union had threatened a midnight walkout, but talks ended without a clear resume time, signaling potential further disruption. Nigeria produces 2.4 million barrels daily and is a major US oil supplier, making any disruption a potential boost to oil futures.
