FCT Doctors Call Off Strike, Hail Wike’s Prompt Intervention

The Association of Resident Doctors, Federal Capital Territory Administration, ARD-FCTA, has officially suspended its three-day warning strike.

President of ARD-FCTA, Dr George Ebong, confirmed the development to DAILY POST on Wednesday.

According to him, the decision to suspend the industrial action followed an emergency virtual recess meeting held by members of the association.

He commended the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, and his team for their intervention.

“We called off the warning strike after some of our demands were met. Most of our members have received their unpaid salaries and have been reinstated.

“We strongly hope that the rest of the members affected are paid by tomorrow to prevent further disruption of work in the health sector.

“We thank the FCT Health Secretary, Adedolapo Fasawe, mandate secretary, and Chidi Amadi, Chief of Staff to FCT Minister Wike, for their swift intervention,” he said.
