Wike's Aide Denies Minister Fleeing from FCTA Workers' Protest in Abuja
The article discusses a situation in Abuja where workers from the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) were protesting over various welfare issues, such as unpaid salaries and poor working conditions. A video circulated on social media allegedly showed workers chasing a motorcade, leading to claims that Wike, a Minister, had fled the scene.
However, Wike's aide clarified that the video was misleading and that Wike did not run from the protest. The workers, backed by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), demanded the removal of the Minister to address their grievances.
The workers had also picketed the Nigeria Industrial Court in Abuja. The strike led to the suspension of the workers by the FCTA, with the court acknowledging the workers' right to strike within the framework of the law.
