The protest, which disrupted normal activities in the capital, has now sparked a wave of political reactions, including a sharp rebuke from former lawmaker and APC stalwart, Senator Shehu Sani.
The demonstration, which began around 7:00 a.m., saw a massive turnout of disgruntled civil servants who blocked the entrance to the FCTA Secretariat located in Area 11, Garki.
Carrying placards with strong messages and chanting protest songs, the workers expressed outrage over unpaid salaries, delayed promotions, poor working conditions, and a general lack of concern for their welfare under the current administration.
There is widespread disgruntlement in Abuja against FCT minister Wike particularly on the issue of more than three months stay at home of children in public schools.
Wike is criticized for using N39 billion to renovate now re-christened Bola Tinubu international conference centre while schools in Abuja remained closed for months.
