LAGOS, Nigeria — Labor unions ended a crippling nationwide strike Monday in Nigeria after the country’s president partially restored subsidies that keep gasoline prices low, though it took soldiers deployed in the streets to stop demonstrations in Africa’s most populous nation. Union leaders claimed a victory for labor. But the newly agreed price of about $2.27 a gallon is still more expensive than the previous price of $1.70 per gallon , putting additional economic strain on those living in a nation where most earn less than $2 a day.
