NLC Ends Strike, Teachers to Resume Work in Abuja
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Council, announced the suspension of its indefinite strike on October 21, 2026, which had begun on October 7. The strike disrupted public school activities due to unresolved labor disputes involving teachers and education officers.
The suspension was confirmed by the FCT NLC chairman, Comrade Knabayi Adalo, following negotiations with the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), and the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment. Key resolutions included aligning vacancies for the promotion of education officers with established positions from the FCT Education Secretariat.
The NLC emphasized the need for urgent attention to outstanding promotion issues to prevent stagnation. A new date for the 2025 promotion examination will be announced after approval from the FCT Executive Council.
Additionally, the redeployment of directors under the Harmonised Retirement Age for Teachers Act, 2022, will remain suspended until further notice.
