Salary: Abuja Resident Doctors Embark On Indefinite Strike

Members of Association of Resident Doctors, Federal Capital Territory Administration (ARD-FCTA) have embarked on an indefinite strike over non-payment of their salaries.

The President of the FCT chapter of the association, Dr Roland Aigbovo, said at a news conference on Tuesday in Abuja that the strike, which started on Monday, was to press home their demand for urgent payment of their salaries.

He said that the strike would be observed by all members of ARD-FCTA which comprised of all doctors practising in the 14 districts and general hospitals, Department of Public Health and Primary Healthcare Development Board under the FCTA, excluding consultants.

He added that “our members were thrown into serious financial distress following non-payment of our salaries when due and we waited patiently after the end of the year 2019 and new year 2020 celebrations till the third week of February, only for us to receive a paltry sum of money as of January salary.

“The money received ranged from one-fifth to one-tenth of our salary with the exclusion of the newly employed members who have not been paid for about five to seven months.”
