The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), FCT Wing, has directed all primary and secondary school teachers in the territory to join the ongoing strike action initiated by the Joint Union Action Committee (JUAC).
This strike action is expected to begin on Monday, Jan. 26, 2026.
This is contained in a communiqué jointly signed by the union’s State Chairman, Abdullahi Shafas; State Secretary, Margaret Jethro; and Publicity Secretary, Ibukun Adekeye, issued to newsmen on Monday in Abuja.
According to the communiqué, the decision to down tools follows a directive from the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), instructing all affiliate unions within the FCT to escalate the industrial action.
While the NUT noted initial reservations regarding the organisational approach of the JUAC-led strike, the union emphasised that the intervention of the NLC necessitated a unified front.
‘’All teachers in FCT primary and secondary schools are to stay away from classrooms starting Monday,” Part of the report read.
