Workers of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) and the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) have commenced an indefinite strike action, leading to a shutdown of official activities across Abuja.
The strike, which began early today, has disrupted operations in key government offices within the Federal Capital Territory, with workers withdrawing their services in protest over unresolved grievances with authorities. As a result, administrative activities, development projects, and public services managed by the FCTA and FCDA have been brought to a standstill.
Although full details of the workers’ demands are still emerging, sources within the unions indicate that the action is connected to issues relating to welfare, unpaid entitlements, and other employment-related concerns. Labour representatives have accused the authorities of failing to honour previous agreements despite repeated negotiations.
Several government offices were either locked or operating skeletal services as workers gathered at strategic locations within the FCT to enforce compliance with the strike directive. Residents and visitors to Abuja are expected to experience delays in accessing services under the FCTA and FCDA until the dispute is resolved.
Efforts to reach officials of the FCTA and FCDA for comments were unsuccessful as of the time of filing this report. However, labour leaders insist the strike will continue until their demands are adequately addressed.
