Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has disclosed that workers of the FCT Administration received their January salary last Friday.<\/p>\n

Olayinka also said that FCTA workers have received one month\u2019s payment out of the five months\u2019 arrears of the wage award.<\/p>\n

He made this disclosure in a statement while faulting the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) for mobilising workers in other sectors for a protest on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

According to Olayinka: \u201cFCTA workers received their January salary last Friday, along with one month\u2019s payment of the five months\u2019 arrears of the wage award.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo months out of the five months\u2019 arrears of the wage award have already been paid, with the remaining three months to be paid alongside the February, March, and April salaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the NLC is mobilising workers in other sectors, who should be at their duty posts, for a protest on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeanwhile, the FCTA workers on whose behalf the NLC is organising the protest were at work last Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. They will also be at work tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, more than 20 states have stopped paying the wage award or did not implement it at all. The NLC has not done anything. It is the FCT, which is paying and has paid two months out of the five months\u2019 arrears, that is the problem for the NLC.<\/p>\n

\u201cLas las, those in the NLC will tell Nigerians what exactly they want from the FCT.\u201d<\/p>\n
