Tension rose in Abuja on Monday as aggrieved Federal Capital Territory Administration workers chased the motorcade of Minister Nyesom Wike during a protest over unresolved welfare and salary issues. A video captured the incident, highlighting the workers' frustrations.
In Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, a group of workers from the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) expressed their discontent on Monday by pursuing the motorcade of the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike. The action stemmed from ongoing protests related to welfare concerns and unpaid salaries that the workers claim have not been addressed.
Daily Trust obtained a video showing the workers confronting the minister's convoy, underscoring the level of tension during the event. The workers had reportedly been demonstrating for some time, pointing to persistent administrative issues within the FCTA.
This incident reflects broader challenges faced by public sector employees in Nigeria, where delays in salary payments and welfare provisions can lead to public demonstrations. No further details on the immediate aftermath or official responses were available from the sighted materials.
