Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has accused the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) chapter in Abuja of staging a politically motivated strike. Wike maintains that the union's demands had already been addressed and that the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools (ASUSS) have distanced themselves from the action.
He warned that the “no work, no pay” policy would be enforced against workers participating in the strike, and insisted that the administration had no outstanding issues with the area councils. Wike further alleged that the FCT NLC chairman was pursuing a political agenda linked to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), placing the dispute beyond the immediate labour demands.
