Resident doctors: FCTA has met 90% demands – Official

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) says it has met 90 per cent of the demands made by resident doctors in its workforce, pending full implementation.

Dr Adedolapo Fasawe, Mandate Secretary, Health and Environment Services Secretariat, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Abuja.

Fasawe was reacting to claims by the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD-FCTA) that none of their demands had been met.

This was in spite of the suspension of their indefinite strike on Sept. 22, following the intervention of the Senate.

She explained that while most of the demands had been approved on paper, the remaining 10 per cent would be handled directly by the FCT Minister, Mr Nyesom Wike.

“I want to make it categorically clear that the Honourable Minister, Barrister Nyesom Wike, has approved 90 per cent of their demands, and this is verifiable.

“On paper, approval has been given to their requests, and I have the document with me. The remaining 10 per cent is left for the Minister to handle.

“It is a systemic process, and if it appears slow, it is due to government bureaucracy. However, with this renewed attention, we will follow up with the Minister to fast-track implementation,” she said.

Fasawe appealed to the doctors to exercise patience and formally communicate with the administration by sending a follow-up letter with reasonable timelines.

According to her, embarking on another strike will only hurt patients and further strain the FCT health system.

“The doctors themselves are not happy with incessant strikes. No one wants to see patients suffer or die. But strikes are not the best solution,” she added.

She acknowledged that doctors in Nigeria’s public health sector were not adequately remunerated but assured that the government was taking steps to address the situation.

According to her, the Federal Government is working hard to curb the ‘Japa’ syndrome by implementing reforms that will encourage health workers to remain in the country.

“Reforms in the health sector cannot be achieved overnight, but progress is being made gradually,” she said.

Fasawe also called on the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) to formally write to the FCT Minister on its demand for an access road to its landed property at Mamusa North District, Sabon Lugbe.

INEC chairman Amupitan faces Nigerian protesters in London over 2027 polls

Nigerian protesters have confronted Joash Amupitan, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), outside Chatham House in London, demanding answers over alleged irregularities in the country’s electoral system ahead of the 2027 general elections.   The protesters accosted Amupitan on Thursday as he left the British think tank after participating in a panel discussion titled ‘Nigeria’s 2027 Elections: Democratic Trajectory and Regional Stability Beyond the Ballot’. According to a report by TheCable, the demonstrators surrounded the black vehicle conveying the INEC chairman and demanded that he address their concerns about alleged irregularities in Nigeria’s voter register. Videos circulating on social media showed protesters holding placards, recording the encounter and chanting at the electoral chief. “Why are you running? Come out and talk to us,” some of the protesters shouted. Another demonstrator was heard calling for the police to be contacted, insisting that Amupitan should come out and address their concerns. One of the placards displayed during the confrontation read: “Amupitan, no more election fraud”. However, the INEC chairman remained inside his vehicle and did not give an audible response to the protesters. INEC Under Scrutiny Over Voter Register The confrontation comes amid growing scrutiny of INEC following concerns raised last month over suspected AI-generated photographs appearing in the commission’s preliminary voter register. INEC subsequently said it had traced the photographs to alleged misconduct by some registration officers who had access to its registration portal. The controversy raised further questions about the integrity of the electoral register ahead of the 2027 general elections. Amupitan Addresses Concerns Over 2023 Elections During his Chatham House appearance, Amupitan acknowledged that glitches experienced during the transmission of results in the 2023 general elections had eroded public confidence in the commission. He, however, said INEC had taken steps to ensure the smooth and efficient conduct of the 2027 elections. The protesters’ confrontation highlights continuing concerns over electoral transparency and public confidence in Nigeria’s electoral process as preparations for the 2027 elections gather momentum.
