The Association of Resident Doctors in the Federal Capital Territory Administration has suspended its indefinite strike after 30 days of industrial action.
The President of ARD-FCTA, Dr. George Ebong, disclosed this in a message to our correspondent on Monday.
The strike, which began on November 1, 2025, was suspended following the approval of their demands by the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike.
However, the doctors warned that they would not hesitate to resume industrial action if the FCTA fails to implement the approved demands within four weeks.
The ARD-FCTA is an association of doctors practising in 14 district and general hospitals, including the Department of Public Health under the FCTA.
Dr. Ebong said, “ARD-FCTA has suspended its strike for four weeks with the hope that the approvals from Mr. Minister will be implemented.”
FCT doctors vow to continue strike until demands are met
The doctors embarked on industrial action to press home their demands for better working conditions, improved welfare, fair remuneration, and other improvements.
The strike disrupted medical services across the FCT, leading to delays in patient care and increased pressure on the remaining healthcare staff.
