FCTA Workers, NLC Protest, Demand Wike’s Removal
Workers of the Federal Capital Territory Administration, with the backing of the Nigeria Labour Congress, on Monday protested at the National Industrial Court in Abuja.
The protest was part of an ongoing total and indefinite strike over unresolved labour disputes.
The protest followed a directive from the NLC, which declared full support for the industrial action, describing the strike as justified amid what it termed persistent violations of workers’ rights by the FCTA management and political leadership.
Placards carried by the protesters bore inscriptions such as “Wike must go!!”, “Abuja no be Rivers”, “Pay promotion arrears”, “Enough is Enough” and “No working tools”.
