WATCH THE VIDEO HERE THE Association of Resident Doctors in the Federal Capital Territory Administration, on Wednesday, began a three-day warning strike over unpaid salaries, allowances, and other demands. Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja, the President of ARD FCTA, Dr George Ebong, said the strike followed the expiration of the three-week ultimatum issued last year. Recall that the association issued a 21-day ultimatum to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, on December 23, 2024, to meet its demands. Speaking on behalf of doctors in the territory, Dr Ebong condemned the neglect of hospitals and doctors’ welfare in the nation’s capital. He stressed that doctors in Abuja had become abandoned projects and called on the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, to intervene to prevent an indefinite shutdown of hospitals. According to him, the decision to embark on the three-day warning strike was a result of a Congress meeting held by its members on Tuesday. “The three-day strike is being implemented across all government hospitals in Abuja, including Wuse, Asokoro, Maitama, Kubwa, Zuba, Kwali, Abaji, Nyanya, and all other hospitals in Abuja.”
