Omo, big news don land from Federal Capital Territory! Doctors wey dey serve the nation don finally collect their hazard allowance after 13 good months wey dem dey wait.
Na the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, na im approve the payment, and e sweet well for the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), FCT. Dem don even carry letter come thank am, show say work dey pay!
As per the letter wey the President, Dr. George Ebong, and General Secretary, Dr. Yusuf Israel Lissa sign, dem talk plenty sweet words about di minister, praise him leadership and how e dey care for healthcare workers. E no be small thing to collect 13 months hazard allowance plus one month wage award just like that!
Dem no just stop there, oh! Dem also yan about di challenges wey health workers dey face, and how dis payment na sign of respect for di hard work wey dem dey put in for the FCTA.
But make we no forget say other workers from Federal Capital Territory Administration and Federal Capital Development Authority dey carry their own issue to the street. Dem don wahala with strike wey don paralyze all government offices for Abuja. Na since Monday dis strike don dey happen after ultimatum don expire.
Security personnel from Nigeria Police Force and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps dey on ground to ensure say wahala no happen as dem lock up offices including di FCTA Secretariat. Ogbonge wahala wey dey brew here!
Di Joint Union Action Congress (JUAC) don talk say wetin FCTA management dey yarn about workers’ demands don dey met na total lie. Dem claim say wage awards and all dem other allowances neva happen, na im make dem carry leg go for strike so that dem go fit make their voice hear.
Look ehn, di appreciation wey ARD-FCTA gree give no mean say dem don solve everybody wahala. JUAC don clear say di letter no represent di position of all di workers, no be all of dem dey gree with wetin ARD dey talk.
Na so e be, my people! We dey watch as dis story dey unfold, hope say every side go reach agreement sharp sharp, before dis wahala go turn serious!
