A national industrial court in Abuja has ordered workers on the payroll of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) to suspend their ongoing strike.
Delivering a ruling on Tuesday, Emmanuel Subilim, presiding judge, held that although the matter before the court amounted to a trade dispute, the defendants’ right to embark on industrial action was not absolute.
He held that once a dispute has been referred to the national industrial court, any ongoing strike must cease pending the determination of the case.
