FCT Minister Nyesom Wike
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has approved the employment of 34 resident doctors for residency training for a fixed term of seven years.
The 34 medical doctors were the first batch of the 60 Medical residency Trainees in eight faculties/specialities in the FCTA Hospitals approved for employment by Wike.
The Senior Special Assistant to the FCT Minister on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, who made this known in a statement on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, said the employment of the 34 resident doctors will further enhance health-care delivery in Abuja.
He said: “This is the first time this is being done outside employees of the Health Management Board, thereby giving doctors more opportunity and bringing more competent hands into healthcare delivery in the FCT.
