FCTA workers declares three-day protest

The Joint Union Action Committee of the Federal Capital Territory Administration, has declared a three-day protest beginning Monday, June 30 to Wednesday, July 2, 2025, over what it describes as the “blatant refusal” of the FCT Minister to address longstanding issues affecting staff welfare and rights.

 

President of JUAC, Rifkatu Iortyer, in a statement titled “PROTEST!!! PROTEST!!! PROTEST!!!” on Thursday, directed all members and affiliate unions across the FCTA to mobilise and gather at the Minister’s Main Gate in Area 11, Garki, by 7:00 am each day of the protest.

 

According to her, “The protest is against the blatant refusal of the FCT Minister to address… salient issues affecting staff.”

 

She listed grievances to include the non-promotion of staff since 2023, unresolved salary administration problems, and unpaid entitlements. The union is also demanding structural changes within the administration, improved staff welfare, and an end to deductions they consider illegal.

 

“The Chairman FCT Civil Service Commission must go. We say no to overseeing directors’ position,” Iortyer declared,

 

Other demands include, “Domestication of IPPIS, inaccessibility of the salary portal to salary desk officers, no overhead since December 2024, stop our NHF deduction, non-payment of five months wage awards/health workers hazard allowance arrears, no training and retraining of FCTA staff, out-of-school FCTA primary school pupils, and non-payment of AEPB enforcement squad. All members of staff are advised to gather at the Minister’s main gate Area 11 to drive home their demands,” the statement added.
