A strike by Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) workers has been called off after FCT Minister Nyesom Wike reached a truce with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) in the early hours of Tuesday.
The agreement followed over three hours of negotiations chaired by Senator Mohammed Bomoi, Chairman of the Senate Committee on the FCT, which started late Monday night.
In attendance were NLC President Joe Ajaero, TUC President Festus Osifo, and other labour leaders. The minister assured organized labour of mutual respect and sustained engagement moving forward.
Key resolutions include a commitment that no worker will be victimized, withdrawal of all related court cases, and immediate resumption of work by all FCTA staff.
The unions have directed their members to comply fully with the directive in the interest of industrial peace.
