The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has declared that any worker of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) who fails to report for work on Wednesday, January 28, will be dealt with.
Wike, who addressed journalists at his office in Abuja shortly after the National Industrial Court in the nation’s capital ordered the workers to suspend their ongoing strike, said anyone who fails to resume will face disciplinary action.
“From tomorrow, if you don’t come to work, we are going to apply the big stick, and from tomorrow, if we see anybody who says he wants to block the gate, we will make you a scapegoat. The law must take its place,” Wike stated.
Speaking further, the FCT minister disclosed that his administration has met with the unions and all their grievances have also been tabled.

According to Wike, attempts by the security agencies and the FCT management to engage in dialogue have failed. He added that there is more to the issue than their demands.
“I mean, if the workers made 14 demands and the government has addressed 10 out of them, what then is the issue?” Wike queried.
FCTA workers began an indefinite strike last week after the authorities failed to address long-standing labour and welfare demands.
