The Association of Resident Doctors of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (ARD-FCTA) has suspended its indefinite strike.
President of the association, Dr George Ebong, confirmed the development on Friday, stating that members are expected to resume duties on Monday, 22 September 2025, by 8 a.m.
According to him, the suspension followed the intervention of the Senate Committee on Federal Territory Area Councils and Ancillary Matters, as well as out of respect for the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike.
Dr Ebong, however, stressed that none of the doctors’ demands had been met at the time of filing the report.
“The Senate intervened. Even though none of our demands have been met yet, they assured us that they will talk to the Minister. We hope the Minister will listen to us, because we respect him,” he said.
ARD-FCTA had on Monday declared an indefinite strike over poor working conditions, poor remuneration, and other unmet demands.
