Workers at the secretariat of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) started an Indefinite Strike.


Workers at the secretariat of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) have shut down all offices following an indefinite strike declared by their umbrella union, the Joint Union Action Congress (JUAC).

The union said the industrial action, which took effect from Monday, January 19, 2026, was necessitated by unresolved welfare issues and the alleged failure of the authorities to address long-standing demands.

In a statement dated January 8 and jointly signed by the JUAC President, Rifkatu Iortyer, and the Secretary, Abdullahi Saleh, the union said an earlier ultimatum issued on January 7 expired without any meaningful engagement from the management.

According to JUAC, the grievances include the non-payment of outstanding promotion arrears, delays in the conduct and release of promotion exercises, and the continued extension of service for retired directors and permanent secretaries.

The union argued that the practice was stalling career progression for serving officers.

    This was quoted to be a long standing issue and it means the arreas and other complaints has been there even before Wike and Tinubu.
    Some dull brains instead of processing the information genuinely and insightfully, they only know how to blame, and insult leaders.
    I am sure the relevant authority will find solutions, if the government could find solutions to ASU strike, and other workers problems,this also won’t be an exception.
    May Nigeria succeed
