Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) on Thursday, issued a 24-hour ultimatum to striking resident doctors to resume work.<\/p>\n

FCTA warned that failure to do so would lead to mass sack, NAN reports.<\/p>\n

FCT Minister of State, Ramatu Aliyu, spoke at a news conference after an emergency meeting of top management staff of the FCTA.<\/p>\n

The doctors had commenced an indefinite strike over non-payment of salaries.<\/p>\n

They explained that the decision followed extensive deliberation on the health threat posed by coronavirus, work conditions and the healthcare system.<\/p>\n

But, Aliyu stated that the salary problem was not peculiar to the doctors but all staff of the FCTA.<\/p>\n

She lamented that despite pleas and assurances, the doctors were yet to resume work.<\/p>\n

\u201dThe administration has given the striking doctors 24 hours to resume work, after which they should consider themselves as having exited the FCT administration,\u201d Aliyu said.<\/p>\n

The minister thanked the Medical and Dental Association of Nigeria, nurses and midwives, medical laboratory technologists, pharmacists and other health workers who did not join the strike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
