FCTA workers protest, shut secretariat over welfare issues.

Workers of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), led by the Joint Union Action Congress (JUAC), have embarked on a three-day protest over unresolved welfare concerns.

The protesters cited issues such as non-payment of overhead costs, lack of staff training and retraining, and absence of promotions.

The union’s president, Rifkatu Iortyer, expressed disappointment with the neglect of workers' welfare under FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, noting that despite Wike's efforts to establish the FCT Civil Service Commission, workers' welfare remains severely neglected.

The protesting workers have, therefore, issued a three-day ultimatum to the FCTA to meet their demands or face further action.

Iortyer also called on Wike to intervene in the ongoing strike by primary school teachers and healthcare workers, emphasizing the need for urgent resolution to the impasse.
