FCT Teachers Begin Indefinite Strike Over Unmet Demands
Government school teachers in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have begun an indefinite strike action over unmet demands by the Federal Government.
The strike action follows an earlier communique issued by the FCT Wing Executive Council of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), on Friday, which directed primary and secondary school teachers to begin an indefinite strike on Monday.
In the communique jointly signed by the State Chairman, Abdullahi Shafa; the State Secretary, Margaret Jethro; and the State Publicity Secretary, Ibukun Adekeye, the union explained that the decision was the outcome of an emergency SWEC meeting convened to review the seven-day ultimatum issued to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, on March 11, which expired on March 29.
