The Nigeria Union of Teachers, Federal Capital Territory branch, has directed all primary and secondary school teachers in the FCT to commence an indefinite strike starting Monday. The decision followed an emergency meeting of the State Wing Executive Council held in Gwagwalada, Abuja, on Friday. A communique issued after the meeting announced the strike action, citing unresolved grievances. The union did not specify the nature of the grievances in the statement. All teachers in public schools across the FCT are expected to participate. The strike affects both primary and secondary education in the capital territory. No date was given for when resumption might occur. The communique was signed by the union's leadership in the FCT.
The NUT FCT leadership called for a strike without disclosing the specific grievances, leaving parents and students in the dark. Thousands of pupils in Abuja now face disrupted learning with no clarity on what demands are being made. Teachers are caught between union directives and the reality of unpaid salaries or stalled negotiations. The strike's impact falls hardest on families already struggling with inconsistent school calendars.
