The Nigerian Union of Teachers' (NUT) Federal Capital Territory Wing has called off a strike that elementary school teachers in the FCT started on March 24, 2025.  All primary school teachers were urged by the union to return to class on Wednesday, July 9, 2025.  

This information was provided to Channels Television on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, in a communique following a State Wing Executive Council meeting on July 4, 2025.  

The union claimed that Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, intervened and directed the release of N16 billion to cover a portion of the salary, which led to the strike being suspended.  

Throughout the four-month strike, the teachers' unfailing support, solidarity, and prayers were much appreciated by the NUT.
