Nigerian Resident Doctors Begin Nationwide Strike Over Unpaid Dues

Nigerian Resident Doctors commenced a nationwide warning strike due to the Federal Government's failure to address unpaid allowances, salary arrears, and welfare issues. The strike followed the expiration of the ultimatum given by the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD).

Grievances include non-payment of the 2025 Medical Residency Training Fund, five-month arrears, and outstanding hazard allowances. The strike decision was made after the government's inaction despite extended deadlines.

The NARD confirmed the strike's commencement after the final ultimatum expired, affecting medical services across the country.
