Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Capital Territory Chapter of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC has threatened to mobilise it\u2019s members to shutdown the territory following the area council workers\u2019 lingering strike.<\/p>\n

Dr Stephen Knabayi, NLC Chairman, stated in an interview with NAN that the territory will be shut down after President Bola Tinubu concludes the ongoing projects\u2019 inauguration on July 3.<\/p>\n

According to the union, the move is to draw the attention of the FCT administration, especially, the Minister, Nyesom Wike to the ongoing strike.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that all primary health care centres across the territory have been under lock and key.<\/p>\n

Similarly, primary school teachers and students have been at home for several months due to the strike.<\/p>\n

\u201cMembers of the union will take over the streets of Abuja as soon as Tinubu concludes the inaugurations, hopefully on July 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are waiting for it to end and we will come together to step up our planned action,\u201d the chairman of the union said.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that a protest by primary school pupils calling for intervention on the issue, broke out at the gate of the FCT Minister\u2019s residence, in Abuja on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
