During the congress, members deliberated on several critical issues, highlighting the rising cost of living as a major challenge. The council described the escalating cost of basic goods and services as a heavy burden on Nigerians and called for immediate measures by the federal government to alleviate these hardships.

The congress also expressed concern over the erratic power supply within the Federal Capital Territory, noting its impact on businesses on the daily lives of residents.

“The frequent disruption in electricity and water supply are pushing operational costs higher and reducing profit margins for businesses, placing an additional strain on the average Nigerian,” the communiqué stated.

It called on relevant agencies to prioritize the restoration of basic amenities to improve the quality of life in the region.

The NUJ FCT Council voiced its grave concern over rising insecurity, including disturbing reports of ritual killings and other heinous acts, linking these incidents to economic downturn. It emphasized the need for a collaborative effort to address economic and security challenges.

The Congress concluded by pledging commitment to unity and  advancement of the union for the betterment of her members.
