Primary schools and the health centres remain shut as the strike action declared by the FCTA workers under the auspices of Joint Unions Action Committee (JUAC) enters the 9th day. At the FCTA secretariat, workers were seen around the Secretariats, Departments and Agencies performing their routine duties. But JUAC had ordered its members to continue the strike action until all their demands were met. Shortly after filing the appeal, Secretary of JUAC, Abdullahi Saleh, in a circular, told the workers that the strike continued from Thursday. In a communique signed by NLC acting General Secretary, Benson Upah, and TUC Secretary General, Nuhu Toro, the unions insisted that the strike continues until Wike negotiates with the FCT workers.
