Workers of the Federal Capital Territory Administration, with the backing of the Nigeria Labour Congress, have asked President Bola Tinubu to sack FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
The workers made the demand on Monday while picketing the National Industrial Court in Abuja as part of an ongoing total and indefinite strike over unresolved labour disputes.
The protest is coming on the heels of a directive from the NLC, which declared full support for the industrial action.
The workers’ union had described the strike as justified on grounds of alleged persistent violations of workers’ rights by the FCTA management and political leadership.
The protesters carried various placards, with inscriptions such as “Wike must go!!”, “Abuja no be Rivers”, “Pay promotion arrears”, “Enough is Enough” and “No working tools”.
