Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has reacted to the ongoing strike of teachers in the capital city.<\/p>\n

Wike said: \u201cWe intervened in the strike but some of the teachers have not been realistic, it will be difficult. We will pay in phases, that\u2019s what I said.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Minister also lamented over the wage bill of his administration in comparison with the number of workers.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cAlmost 50,000 workers with a salary of N13bn every month what do we get from the federal government?<\/p>\n

\u201cIf federal government gets N800bn a year, it gives us one percent, one percent of N800bn is N8bn. With N8bn, can I pay the salaries with this new minimum wage? Can it pay allowances?<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard they locked the gate but they have taken their salaries, have you asked that you lock the gate but your salary will be paid?\u201d<\/p>\n
