Striking resident doctors in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have accused FCT Minister Nyesom Wike of neglecting health facilities and workers’ welfare in the nation’s capital, Abuja.
The President of resident doctors in the FCT, George Ebong, said though Wike has been busy fixing roads, he has abandoned government-owned health institutions in the nation’s capital with many in deplorable condition.
“That’s just where we have our concerns. The minister has been very busy with projects, fixing roads, and all of that. We feel that he should also focus on the hospitals right now,” Ebong said on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday.
“We feel that we are the human abandoned project. No matter the things he does by fixing roads and bridges, the hospitals are the very first point of innovation and rehabilitation. They are hallowed ground; he cannot neglect them,” he said.
