ABUJA – The National Industrial Court has fixed Monday, January 27, 2026, to deliver a ruling on an application by the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, seeking to halt the ongoing strike by FCT Administration workers.
The ruling follows a hearing on Friday, which was preceded by peaceful protests from workers at the court premises. The workers, under the Joint Unions Action Committee (JUAC), began an indefinite strike on January 19 over unpaid salaries, promotion arrears, and other welfare issues.
Minister Wike had approached the court to compel the workers to return to their jobs. The strike has significantly disrupted public services in the nation’s capital, including the closure of public schools as teachers joined the industrial action.
The court’s decision tomorrow will determine the immediate future of the strike and the ongoing labor dispute between the FCTA and its staff.
