FCT workers extend strike for 11th day as talks stall with Area Council Chairmen

Federal Capital Territory workers on strike over minimum wage are extending their 11-day walkout as negotiations with Area Council Chairmen remain deadlocked. The strike, led by the Nigeria Labour Congress, is now entering its 12th day.

Workers in the Federal Capital Territory have extended their strike by the original January date, leaving talks between the Nigeria Labour Congress and Area Council Chairmen stalled. The 11-day strike began as a protest over minimum wage issues, with labour unions demanding better compensation for workers. With negotiations at an impasse, the prolonged industrial action is likely to continue, affecting essential services in the territory. The strike has disrupted normal functioning, leaving many residents uncertain about the resolution of the dispute.
