The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has issued a 10-day ultimatum to all relevant government agencies, warning that its members will embark on a nationwide strike if the demands are not met.
NARD disclosed this in a communiqué signed by its president, Dr. Tope Osundara, after its extraordinary national executive council meeting, which was held virtually.
The association condemned the failure of the federal government to fulfil its promises, noting with dismay that a substantial number of resident doctors remain unpaid for their 2025 medical residency training fund, and the refusal to pay the outstanding five months’ arrears of consolidated medical salary structure review, among other demands.
