Abuja

Activities in Abuja were disrupted on Monday as workers of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) and the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) commenced an indefinite strike over unresolved welfare and salary-related issues.

The industrial action led to partial shutdowns of key government offices, delaying public services and causing inconvenience to residents. Workers were seen picketing office premises, demanding immediate government intervention.

Union leaders said the strike followed repeated failures to address long-standing grievances, including unpaid allowances, promotion arrears and poor working conditions. They accused authorities of neglecting workers’ concerns despite multiple engagements.

Essential services were affected as administrative operations slowed, while residents expressed frustration over delays in documentation and approvals. Some ministries and departments reportedly operated skeletal services.

The FCTA management acknowledged the strike and said discussions were ongoing to resolve the impasse. Officials appealed to workers to return to work while negotiations continue.

Labour analysts warned that prolonged industrial action could have economic implications for the capital city, particularly for businesses reliant on government processes.

Residents called on the federal government to act swiftly, stressing that Abuja’s role as the nation’s capital makes uninterrupted public services critical.

As talks continue, uncertainty remains over how long the strike will last and its broader impact on governance in the FCT.
