FCTA Workers Protest Salary Delays ✊

Members of the Joint Union Action Committee gathered at the FCT Minister’s Gate to protest non-payment of salaries to staff, the prolonged FCT primary school teachers’ strike, and the payment of wage awards to health workers.

President of JUAC, Rifkatu Iortyer, who addressed workers during the protest, said the Wike-Led FCT Administration had failed to pay overhead costs, the retired members of staff who were qualified for promotion, and discrepancies in payments of salaries.

The President also lamented the failure of the administration to pay hazard allowance arrears of health workers, and the stoppage of workers’ salaries by the Chairman of the FCT Civil Service Commission, describing it as an unfair initiative.

However, FCT Minister is set to meet N.U.T and Area Council Chairmen on Thursday over prolonged strike.
