The Nigeria Medical Association, FCT chapter, has appealed to the federal government to beef up security in the FCT following recent threats in the environs.
The chairman of the NMA FCT chapter, Enema Amodu, made the appeal Sunday at a news conference to unveil programmes lined up for the 2022 Scientific Conference/Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the association.
He said: “Lately, there had been bold incursions into the FCT, and this would negatively impact on the socio-economic indices of the FCT, and by extension the nation at large.”
He called on the federal government to take very definite measures to curb the evolving menace within FCT and its environs.
The chairman also said the programmes lined up for the 2022 week-long Scientific Conference/AGM would be a unique one where issues on health insurance would be discussed.
“This AGM will be an opportunity for us to take stock of the situation, and our activities as doctors and healthcare providers,” he said. (NAN)
