FCT DOCTORS BEGIN INDEFINITE STRIKE

The Association of Resident Doctors in the Federal Capital Territory Administration has begun an indefinite strike over failure of the government to address any of their demands.

The decision followed the association’s seven-day warning strike, which ended after an emergency general meeting held yesterday in Abuja.

This was disclosed in a communique issued by the ARD-FCT, signed by its President, Dr. George Ebong, and General Secretary, Dr. Agbor Affiong.

The doctors are demanding the payment of salary arrears, ranging from one to six months, owed to members employed since 2023. They also want the immediate recruitment of new staff, settlement of the 2025 Medical Residency Training Fund, and payment of arrears arising from the 25–35 per cent upward review of the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure.
