The National Industrial Court in Abuja is set to deliver a ruling on Tuesday in a lawsuit filed by Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike and the FCT Administration seeking to halt an ongoing workers’ strike that has disrupted government operations across the capital.
Justice E.D. Subilim fixed the ruling date after hearing arguments from both sides on Monday in a case that could determine whether the Joint Union Action Committee can continue its industrial action.
The suit, filed by the FCT minister and the FCT Administration, targets JUAC leaders Rifkatu Iortyer and Abdullahi Umar Saleh. The claimants are asking the court to issue an interlocutory injunction restraining the union and its members from embarking on further strikes, picketing, or lockouts.
