The Association of Resident Doctors in the Federal Capital Territory Administration has commended the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, for the implementation of the union’s demands.
The President of ARD-FCTA, Dr. George Ebong, commended the minister during an outreach at Durumi Area 1 Internally Displaced Persons Camp.
He said despite numerous challenges for doctors in the FCT, the minister has been able to implement some of the demands, and urged the FCTA to quickly implement the outstanding issues.
Ebong said the association is committed to providing free healthcare services to IDPs as their major duty is to save lives.
“We decided to come to the IDP camp with some drugs, and that’s why we are here.
“While we will always do this, and hopefully we will make so much of an impact on our community.
“We came to see how we can impact the lives of our people through medicare and even through other means.
“Yes, we have challenges. As doctors, you know our demands, and I will try to fight for our demands, but for now, we want to say a very big thank you to the Minister, Nyesom Wike, who approved most of our demands..
“We are grateful for every implementation of our demands. Yes, there are fewer times that are still there, but we believe that the Minister will see to that,” he told DAILY POST in an interview.
Recall that the FCT doctors had embarked on several strike actions to press home their demands, including improved welfare.
ARD-FCTA suspended its latest strike recently pending full implementation of outstanding demands by the FCTA.
