TUC Urges FCT Workers to Ignore NLC Strike Order
The Trade Union Congress (TUC), Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Council, has directed all workers in the FCT to disregard the indefinite strike declared by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), FCT Council. The NLC FCT Council issued a communique on October 6, 2026, calling for an indefinite strike starting October 7, 2026, due to a dispute between the FCT Administration (FCTA) and the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT).
In response, the TUC FCT Council stated that it was not involved in the decision-making process for the strike and emphasized that the NLC directive was made without consultation. The TUC urged its members to continue their normal duties and report any coercion to join the strike to the TUC FCT Secretariat.
The TUC expressed its commitment to addressing issues concerning children and workers' welfare through proper consultation and dialogue, ensuring that children's access to education remains uninterrupted.
