The Association of Resident Doctors, Federal Capital Territory Administration (ARD-FCTA), has suspended its indefinite strike for four weeks.
The President of ARD-FCTA, Dr. George Ebong, disclosed this in a message to newsmen 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.
“ARD-FCTA has suspended its strike for four weeks with the hope that the approvals from Mr. Minister will be implemented,” Ebong stated.
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.
