Resident doctors in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have commenced a three-day warning strike on Wednesday in protest against unpaid salaries, allowances, and other unresolved demands. 

The strike by the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) in the employ of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) followed the expiration of a three-week ultimatum issued last year.

The association had previously given a 21-day ultimatum to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, on December 23, 2024, urging the government to address their grievances. 
The decision of the doctors to embark on the warning strike was reached during a Congress meeting held by the association on Tuesday.

The strike affects all government hospitals in Abuja, including those in Wuse, Asokoro, Maitama, Kubwa, Zuba, Kwali, Abaji, and Nyanya.
