The FCT Minister, Mr Nyesom Wike, says a six-man committee has been set up to resolve the lingering dispute between local government employees and the six Area Councils in the FCT.

Wike stated this while addressing newsmen after a closed-door meeting with the leadership of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees and the council’s chairmen in Abuja on Tuesday.

Other concerns of the teachers include non-payment of 25-month arrears of the 2019 approved national minimum wage, non-release of some promotion letters to beneficiaries and non-implementation of released promotion letters. The minister said that the committee was given two weeks to submit its reports on the modalities to resolve the problems.

Mr Bitrus Garki, Secretary, Area Council Service Secretariat, FCT Administration, told journalists that the meeting was to resolve the 40 per cent unpaid peculiar allowance, hazard allowance and other deductions.“What happened today was basically to understand what the issues are and the challenges the areas councils were actually facing.
