Striking resident doctors in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have challenged FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Senate President Godswill Akpabio to use government hospitals in the nation’s capital to feel the plight of public health workers and patients.
The doctors began a three-day warning strike on Wednesday over unpaid salaries, and allowances, among others after the expiration of a three-week ultimatum issued earlier. The development grounded activities at government hospitals in Abuja from Wuse to Asokoro, Maitama, Kubwa, Zuba, Kwali, Abaji, Nyanya, and others.
Ebong, the President of resident doctors in the FCT, accused Wike and other government officials of neglecting health facilities and workers’ welfare in Abuja.
He said though Wike has been busy fixing roads, he has abandoned health institutions in the nation’s capital with many in deplorable condition.
