Earlier today, the striking workers backed by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), picketed the National Industrial Court in Abuja on Monday as part of their ongoing indefinite strike, demanding the removal of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and payment of outstanding entitlements.


The protesters carried placards reading “Wike must go!!”, “Abuja no be Rivers”, “Pay promotion arrears”, “Enough is Enough” and “No working tools” as they massed at the court entrance, witnesses and pictures from the scene showed.


The workers embarked on the strike over alleged unresolved welfare issues, including five months of unpaid salaries, long-outstanding promotion arrears, and poor working conditions.


Minister Wike dragged the striking unions before the National Industrial Court requesting an order to stop them from continuing with the strike action.
