FCT Teachers Set For Indefinite Strike
Teachers in the Federal Capital Territory will begin an indefinite strike on Monday, disrupting learning across public schools in Abuja.
The action was announced by unions representing teachers, who say the move comes after months of unresolved issues with authorities.
The strike is expected to affect thousands of students across the territory.
The decision follows failed negotiations between the teachers and officials of the Federal Capital Territory Administration.
Union leaders said their demands have not been met despite repeated engagements, leaving them with no option but to withdraw services until further notice.
Among the key issues are unpaid salaries, poor welfare conditions, and concerns over allowances.
The teachers insist the situation has become unbearable, adding that previous promises made by the authorities were not fulfilled.
With the strike set to begin, schools are likely to remain shut until an agreement is reached.
Parents and students now face uncertainty as both sides prepare for another round of talks to resolve the dispute.
