Wike approves first batch of 34 new resident doctors for FCTA hospitals

Published on April 02, 2025 at 04:42 PM

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has approved the employment of 34 resident doctors for a fixed seven-year residency training program.

This marks the first phase of a broader initiative to recruit 60 medical residency trainees across eight specialties in FCTA hospitals.

Senior Special Assistant to the FCT Minister on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, announced the development in a statement on Wednesday, highlighting that the recruitment will significantly enhance healthcare services in the FCT.

He noted that this is the first time such an employment process has taken place outside the Health Management Board, providing doctors with greater opportunities and bringing more skilled professionals into the healthcare system.

The 34 newly employed resident doctors will specialize in psychiatry, internal medicine, general surgery, anesthesiology, family medicine, ophthalmology, and obstetrics and gynecology.

To further strengthen healthcare delivery, the FCTA Civil Service Commission will soon commence the recruitment process for the remaining 26 resident doctors, covering additional specialties such as pediatrics.
