Staff of the Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, have insisted on not resuming work despite a court order mandating them to suspend their industrial action.

DAILY POST reports that the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, sitting in Abuja, on Tuesday granted an interlocutory injunction filed by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and the FCT Administration, compelling workers under the Joint Union Action Committee to suspend their ongoing strike.

The irate workers who gathered on Tuesday, however, said while they are no more on strike, they will stay back in their homes.

One of the workers said: “Let them open the gate wide. We are in our houses. No wahala oh. We are no longer on strike. Tell them. Wike has won. Let them open all the gates. We are going to remain in our houses. When they meet our demands, we will come back to work.

“We are not struggling with them. The life of every FCTA staff matters to us. Nobody will struggle with them. They have the gun, the power and the resources but the people’s power is more than their own.

“We are gallant FCTA workers. We have the right to be respected. This is our land and we are not second class citizens here. You can’t be treated badly and then come to your own country and suffer this. We say enough is enough.”
