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.

Arsenal thrash Man City 3-0 to lift Community Shield

Arsenal beat Manchester City 3-0 in the Community Shield on Sunday, giving Mikel Arteta an early-season triumph while condemning new City boss Enzo Maresca to defeat in his first game in charge in the traditional curtain-raiser to the campaign.   With their fourth victory over City in the fixture, Arsenal maintained their 100% win record over their opponents with an emphatic performance at the Principality Stadium, where Riccardo Calafiori, Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard found the net. “We showed our level today, we showed that we’re ready,” Odegaard told TNT Sports. “I think we showed that we’re serious, we want to do it again. There’s more trophies to go for and that’s the aim.” Having failed to convince in pre-season performances that raised a few eyebrows, Arsenal exploded into action with devastating effect right from kick-off, needing just 23 seconds to silence any lingering doubts about their readiness. Myles Lewis-Skelly was deployed in midfield and he threaded an excellent pass to set up left-back Calafiori, who calmly finished past Gianluigi Donnarumma to give Arsenal the perfect start against the FA Cup champions. The early strike — the first goal scored in the opening minute of the fixture in 58 years — set the tone for a dominant display where Arsenal looked fitter, sharper, more confident and full of attacking verve. Arsenal celebrate first premier league title since 2004 with massive parade City did not have a clear opportunity until the 20th minute, when Phil Foden curled a shot from range but David Raya was up to the task, diving to his right to deny the midfielder, and later saved a shot from Erling Haaland. Arsenal doubled their lead when Odegaard floated in a cross to the far post, where new signing Christos Tzolis headed the ball back across goal for Havertz to head home, with Donnarumma accidentally spilling the ball over the line. Arsenal needed just three minutes after the restart to make it 3-0, with Tzolis grabbing his second assist when he set up Odegaard, whose delicate first touch took the ball past Josko Gvardiol before he beat a wrong-footed Donnarumma with ease. Maresca’s side showed only flashes of their attacking threat, but Raya stood firm to preserve a clean sheet while Haaland — last season’s Golden Boot winner with 27 goals — was kept quiet and withdrawn before the hour mark. Arsenal kick off the new Premier League campaign on Friday against Coventry City, and Odegaard said they were going to play on the front foot to defend their crown. “We’re going to attack it. We want to do it again. It was an unbelievable achievement and experience for all of us,” he said. “When you get the taste of how nice it is, you want to do it again. And there’s also a few other ones we want to take,” he added, referring to the Champions League title that slipped through their fingers in the final against Paris Saint-Germain. “At this club, you want to win all of them. But of course, that’s a big one.” The Gunners’ victory over the FA Cup holders gave them their second trophy in four months and their 18th Community Shield title overall. The match was played at the Principality Stadium while Wembley hosts Canadian singer The Weeknd’s ‘After Hours til Dawn’ tour.
