Dr Charles Ugwuanyi, the outgoing Chairman of the chapter, gave the charge at a news conference in Abuja on Friday.
He said that his administration which began Aug. 5, 2022 had been able to keep the association together.
Ugwuanyi, who called on incoming executives to encourage mutual respect among members, added that NMA-FCT was a microcosm of Nigeria political space.
According to him, all doctors must conform and align with the code of conduct and ethics as obtained in civilised society, as well as make all the sacrifices and attain the mental maturity.
“In the past two years, we came to office Aug. 5, 2022, exactly two years now with few days, we came with high hopes to achieve our desire and we have made some achievements based on our campaign manifestos.
“There are also some points of our manifestos that we are unable to achieve, but as you are aware, governance is a continuous programme. We are hoping that the people we are handing over to will continue from where we stopped.
“The high point of our achievements is that we have been able to keep the association together, as you are aware, Abuja is cosmopolitan city. All part of the country is represented in our association here.
“It is important that NMA FCT maintain that tradition of giving every part of Nigeria equal opportunities. In my administration that is about to end, we have been able to carry everybody along across religious, ethnic, politics and others.
“The biggest achievement is that we inherited our association intact and we are handing it over, intact,” he said.
Ugwuanyi said that his administration was able to achieve a lot in terms of welfare support for members; part of it was the acquisition of land from the FCT administration.
He said that the NMA-FCT secretariat had been repositioned to a very accessible site, as members earlier found it difficult to access.
He called on government to improve on the working environment of medical workers to stop continuous dwindling of the workforce of doctors and nurses.
Ugwuanyi called on incoming executive to strive in achieving some of the lofty ambitions his administration planned to achieve for the progress of the association, adding that a file to direct them would be handed over to them.
He also called for partners, sponsors to assist the association, saying some of the funds used in running the association usually come from members. (NAN)
