NLC, FCTA workers protest at Industrial court, demand Wike’s removal

Employees of the Federal Capital Territory Administration, supported by the Nigeria Labour Congress, staged a picket at the National Industrial Court in Abuja on Monday as part of an ongoing total and indefinite strike concerning unresolved labor disputes.

This demonstration was in response to a directive from the NLC, which expressed its full endorsement of the industrial action, labeling the strike as warranted in light of what it described as ongoing infringements of workers’ rights by the FCTA management and political authorities.

The placards held by the demonstrators featured messages such as “Wike must go!!”, “Abuja no be Rivers”, “Pay promotion arrears”, “Enough is Enough” and “No working tools”.
