Warning Strike Cripples FCT As Workers Declare Permsecretary’s Office Illegal

Angry workers have crippled government activities in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in a three-day warning strike declared by the Join Unions Action Committee (JUAC).

The Guardian observed customers and visitors stranded yesterday at some of the strategic FCT Administration agencies, like Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB) and Abuja Geographic Information Systems (AGIS).

Teachers and health workers are expected to join the strike any moment from now.

The workers were accusing the administration of double standards, stressing that a government that claimed to be transparent would not continue to retain a permanent secretary deployed from the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation (HoSF) against the spirit and intent of FCT Civil Service Commission Act, signed by the President three years ago.
