Teachers and local government workers in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), have resumed their strike over the non-payment of the N70,000 minimum wage by the six area council chairmen.
The strike, which began on February 13, affects primary school teachers and council workers across the FCT.
The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), and the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), accused the chairmen of reneging on a December 2024 agreement to implement the wage increase by January 2025.
Union leaders also condemned the failure to pay other entitlements, including a 40% peculiar allowance and salary increments.
They have vowed to continue the strike indefinitely until their demands are met.
