FCTA Workers Defy Court Order, Demand Grievances Addressed Before Ending Strike

Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) workers in Nigeria are standing firm on their strike despite a court order to suspend it. The Nation Industrial Court in Abuja granted an injunction sought by the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, to halt the ongoing strike by the FCTA staff.

The workers, part of a joint union action committee, remain at home until their demands are met. They stress the importance of respect and fair treatment, asserting that they will not return to work until their grievances are addressed.

The workers emphasize the power of the people and their determination to fight for their rights, refusing to be treated as second-class citizens in their own country.
