FCT doctors hail Wike over 13-month hazard allowance, wage award
The Association of Resident Doctors, Federal Capital Territory (ARD-FCTA), has hailed FCT Minister Nyesom Wike for settling their 13-month outstanding hazard allowance.
Mr Wike’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday.
Mr Olayinka added that in a letter of appreciation to the minister, dated January 15, the association also commended the minister for the payment of a one-month wage award.
In the letter, signed by the ARD-FCTA president, George Ebong, and general secretary, Yusuf Lissa, the association described the intervention as “timely” and underscored the minister’s dedication to equity and fairness.
The doctors particularly lauded Mr Wike for his commitment to the welfare of health workers in the FCT, describing it as “exemplary leadership.”
The doctors further praised Mr Wike for recognising the sacrifices made by doctors and other health workers in the course of service in the FCTA.
“Our association remains committed to constructive engagement and collaboration in advancing the FCT health sector and ensuring the continued delivery of quality healthcare services to the populace,” the association said.
