The six Area Council chairmen in the Federal Capital Territory have agreed to forfeit 10 per cent of their internally generated revenue for the next six months to settle outstanding salaries and allowances owed to public school teachers. The decision followed a closed-door meeting convened on Thursday by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, with the Nigeria Union of Teachers, the National Association of Nigerian Students, and the council chairmen, aimed at resolving the over three-month-old teachers’ strike.
