The Association of Resident Doctors, Federal Capital Territory Administration chapter, will today embark on strike over non-payment of their COVID-19 hazard and inducement allowances.
The strike which was also premised on the non-implementation of the variation of the 2018 promotion, amongst other issues, was sequel to the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum given to the FCTA over the issues in the communiqué submitted to the administration dated August 14, 2020. The strike decision was contained in a fresh communiqué issued on Monday at the end of its emergency meeting held both physically virtually in Abuja.
The communiqué was co-signed by the chairman of ARD-FCTA, Dr Roland Aigbovo and General Secretary, Dr Mustapha Ibrahim.
“We regret any inconveniences this might cause the Federal Capital Territory Administration and the general public needing healthcare delivery during this period. “We implore the FCT Administration to also look into the other myriads of problems raised in our earlier communication to the administration dated 14th August, 2020 with a view to resolving all pending issues so as to maintain industrial harmony.”All rights reserved.
