The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Council, has declared an indefinite strike in response to unresolved disputes regarding the promotion and welfare of teachers in the region.
The industrial action was announced by the FCT Council of the NLC, citing persistent issues that remain unaddressed by the relevant authorities. The strike specifically targets the lack of progress on matters concerning the career advancement and general well-being of educators within the Federal Capital Territory.
By declaring the strike indefinite, the union has indicated that the cessation of work will continue until the grievances are satisfactorily resolved. The move highlights the ongoing tensions between the labor union and management over the treatment of teaching staff.
The NLC FCT Council’s decision underscores the union’s commitment to advocating for the rights of its members, particularly in the education sector where promotion and welfare issues have become a focal point of contention.
