The labour movement in Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory has become deeply divided following the declaration of an indefinite strike by the Nigeria Labour Congress. Confusion reigned as various unions took diametrically opposed stances on the matter. The Nigeria Labour Congress had instructed workers in the FCTA, including private sector employees, to embark on an indefinite strike.
The Trade Union Congress, however, rejected the directive, stating that it was issued unilaterally without any consultation. The TUC emphasized the importance of a proactive and strategic approach when addressing workers' welfare and children's education, urging all members to report to work. The Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools also distanced itself from the strike, urging secondary school teachers to attend to their academic duties as usual.
Contrarily, the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees wholeheartedly supported the strike, calling upon its members across the six Area Councils to join the action from Friday.
