The Federal Capital Territory chapter of the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) has announced the suspension of the strike action embarked upon by primary school teachers since 24 March 2025.
In a communique issued after its State Wing Executive Council meeting held on July 4, 2025, and made available to Channels Television on 8 Tuesday, July, the union directed all primary school teachers in the FCT to resume work on Wednesday, July 9, 2025.
The decision to suspend the strike, according to the NUT, followed the intervention of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, who approved the release of N16 billion for the payment of a portion of the outstanding salaries.
The union expressed gratitude to the teachers for their steadfast support, resilience, and prayers throughout the four-month industrial action.
