Industrial Court Orders FCT Workers to Suspend Strike Amid Legal Battle
The Industrial Court in Abuja, Nigeria, has intervened in the ongoing strike by Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) workers. The court ruled against the indefinite strike action initiated by the Joint Union Action Committee (JUAC) and granted an interlocutory injunction sought by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
The court restrained JUAC from engaging in any further industrial actions, including picketing and lockouts, until the case is resolved. The case, with suit number NICN/ABJ/17/2026, was presided over by Justice D.
Subilim. The court clarified that while workers have the right to embark on industrial actions, it must meet the legal conditions and not be absolute.
The matter has been adjourned until March 23, 2026, for further proceedings.
