The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has met with leaders of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) to address the ongoing strike by primary school teachers in the FCT.
The meeting, held on Wednesday, focused on resolving the dispute that has kept public primary schools shut across the territory. The teachers embarked on strike over unpaid arrears, non-implementation of promotion benefits, and other welfare issues.
Wike assured the union leaders of the FCT Administration’s commitment to addressing their grievances, noting that steps are being taken to clear outstanding entitlements. He urged the teachers to return to classrooms in the interest of pupils who have been out of school.
The NUT said it would consult with its members on the minister’s proposals before taking a decision on suspending the industrial action.
