The Association of Resident Doctors in the Federal Capital Territory (ARD-FCT) has embarked on a seven-day warning strike.
The development was announced on Monday, in a communiqué signed by the President, George Ebong, alongside other members of the executive.
The strike, which commenced on 8 September, is expected to run until Sunday, 15 September.
The doctors had, in January, embarked on a three-day warning strike to drive home their demands.
The communique read: “Arising from this meeting, after rigorous deliberation, and taking into consideration the fact that management is unwilling to acknowledge the emergency in the FCT health sector, Congress unanimously resolved as follows:
“To embark on a one-week warning strike starting from 8:00 am, Monday, 8 September to 8:00 am, Monday, 15 September 2025.”
It indicates that at the end of this warning strike, Congress shall reconvene to reassess the commitments and progress made by FCTA.
