FCTA Staff Protest At Abuja Headquarters, Give Three-Day Ultimatum

Some staff of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) are protesting outside the agency’s headquarters in Area 11, Abuja.

The protest is being led by members of the Joint Union Action Committee on Monday morning, June 30, 2025.

They were seen holding placards with messages like “Non-payment of AEPB enforcement squad,” “Inaccessibility if the salary portal to salary desk officers,” and “Qithheld salaries and allowances of workers for over 6 months.”

Speaking with Channels Television, the union president, Mrs. Rifkatu Iortyer, said the group had written several letters to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike since 2023, asking for intervention, but nothing has been done.

She gave the FCTA a three-day deadline to meet their demands or face further actions.

Their demands include starting training programs for staff, paying a five-month wage award, settling salaries and allowances owed to FCT teachers, halting deductions for the National Housing Fund, and beginning overdue staff promotions for 2023, 2024, and 2025, among other requests.

KanyiDaily also reported that retired police officers across Nigeria are planning a nationwide protest to demand better treatment and solutions to ongoing pension problems.
