‎The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barrister Nyesom Wike has applied for an order of the National Industrial Court to commit the striking workers of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) to prison over their alleged disobedience to order of the court. ‎‎To demonstrate his opposition against the workers for treating order of the Industrial Court with levity, the FCT Minister has obtained form 48, a legal document of court, which spelt out the consequences of violating order of court, to be served on the striking workers. ‎‎The notice of consequence of disobedience of order of Court dated January 29 was signed by the Registrar of the Industrial Court, Mr Olajide Balogun. ‎‎The order of the Judge followed an application by the FCT Minister through Ogwu James Onoja SAN in which he sought an order of court compelling the striking FCTA workers to return to work. ‎‎Justice Subilim had held that industrial action, including strikes, must be suspended once a dispute has been referred to the National Industrial Court.
