Organised labour has agreed to withdraw all pending court cases and halt further industrial action in the Federal Capital Territory following assurances by the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, that no worker would be victimised over the recent strike.
The decision was reached after a marathon conciliatory meeting between leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress, the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria and the FCT minister, convened at the instance of the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the FCT, Senator Mohammed Bomoi.
In a circular dated February 3, 2026, and addressed to all affiliates of the TUC and NLC, the unions directed their members working in the FCT to resume work immediately.
The circular was jointly signed on behalf of the Joint Union Action Committee and workers by the Secretary General of the TUC, Nuhu Toro, and the acting General Secretary of the NLC, Benson Upah.
