The Federal Capital Territory Administration has assured that efforts are underway to resolve the issue of unpaid salaries owed to resident doctors before the expiration of their three-day warning strike.
Speaking during the official handover of eight utility vehicles donated by the World Health Organisation to the FCTA, the Mandate Secretary for Health Services and Environment Secretariat, Dolapo Fasawe, addressed the situation.
Fasawe noted the critical need for functional health services in the territory and lauded the commitment of medical personnel who continue to offer emergency services despite the strike action.
This comes as members of the Association of Resident Doctors in the FCT commenced a three-day industrial action on Monday, following months of unpaid wages.
The resident doctors had issued a warning on Sunday, signalling their intention to embark on the strike due to delays in salary payments by the FCTA.
