Nigerian Resident Doctors Commence Indefinite Strike Over Healthcare System Crisis

The Resident Doctors Association in Nigeria, led by Dr. Mohammad Suleiman, has initiated an indefinite strike following the expiration of a 30-day ultimatum to the federal government.

The strike is a result of the government's failure to implement agreements, worsening the state of Nigeria's healthcare system. Issues raised include unpaid arrears, poor working conditions, inadequate staff, excess workload, and lack of essential medical infrastructure.

The strike is expected to severely disrupt healthcare delivery nationwide, prompting urgent government intervention to prevent further deterioration.
