Workers of the Federal Capital Territory Administration, with the backing of the Nigeria Labour Congress(NLC), on Monday have demanded for FCT minister, Nyesom Wike to be removed.
The workers picketed National Industrial Court in Abuja as part of an ongoing total and indefinite strike over unresolved labour disputes.
The demonstration was prompted by a directive from the NLC, which stated that it fully supported the industrial action and justified the strike due to what it claimed were ongoing breaches of workers’ rights by the political leadership and management of the FCTA.
Placards carried by the protesters bore inscriptions such as “Wike must go!!”, “Abuja no be Rivers”, “Pay promotion arrears”, “Enough is Enough” and “No working tools”.
