NULGE calls off Abuja strike; workers receive January salary
On Wednesday, members of the National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Bwari Area Council of the FCT, resumed work at the council’s secretariat.
The union called off the strike in a circular signed by its chapter president, Ibrahim Kabi, directing members in all the six area councils of the territory to resume work after the action was met with a positive response.
“The FCTA on February 28 released the council’s allocation where members have begun to receive their salary alerts, which was our agitation in the beginning,” Mr Kabi explained. “We have said we will only come back to work only when our members from all the six area councils receive alerts.”
He added, “Therefore, sequel to the above, the protest has been cancelled, and all members are to resume to their places of work.”
The FCT NULGE had, on Thursday, February 17, directed its members to embark on an indefinite strike over non-payment of its January salaries.
One of the council staff revealed that he and other workers had received their January salary while awaiting February’s.
