The Association of Resident Doctors, Federal Capital Territory Administration, ARD FCTA, has commenced a three-day warning strike over unpaid salaries, allowances, and other demands.
The strike has grounded activities in government hospitals in Abuja.
The President of ARD FCTA, Dr George Ebong, disclosed this in a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday.
Ebong said the strike came after a three-week ultimatum issued last year by the doctors had elapsed.
Speaking on behalf of ARD, Ebong decried the neglect of hospitals and doctors’ welfare in the nation’s capital.
He stressed that doctors in Abuja have become abandoned projects, calling on the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, to intervene to avoid an indefinite shutdown of hospitals.
According to him, the decision to embark on the three-day warning strike is a fallout from a Congress held by its members on Tuesday
