……….Give Wike 3-Day Ultimatum for Reinstatement or Face Indefinite Action

 

Healthcare services across Abuja are set to face major disruption as the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) commences a three-day warning strike today, Tuesday, May 6, 2025.

The industrial action follows an emergency congress held on Monday at the Asokoro District Hospital, where members of the association resolved to down tools in protest against the dismissal of 127 health workers by the FCT Civil Service Commission (FCT-CSC) last Friday.

President of the FCT ARD, Dr. George Ebong, described the mass layoff as “inhumane and illegal,” accusing the commission of failing to follow due process.

He demanded the immediate reinstatement of the affected workers and full payment of their April salaries.

“The actions of the FCT-CSC are not only unjust but threaten the stability of our healthcare system. We cannot stand by while our colleagues are treated unfairly,” Dr. Ebong stated.

In addition to calling for the reinstatement, the doctors are also demanding the resignation of the chairman of the FCT Civil Service Commission, Emeka Ezeh.

The association has issued an ultimatum to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, and the FCT Administration, warning that failure to meet their demands within three days will result in a total shutdown of public hospitals in the capital through an indefinite strike.
