Resident Doctors Give Govt 24-hour Ultimatum, Threaten Nationwide Strike

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has given the federal government a fresh 24-hour ultimatum, threatening a nationwide strike starting Friday, September 12. This decision follows the expiration of an earlier ultimatum due to unresolved grievances, including the non-payment of five months' salary arrears, the delay in the review of doctors' entitlements, and issues with certification and recognition.

The NARD emphasized the need for dialogue and action to address these critical concerns affecting medical practitioners. The association expressed disappointment in the lack of progress despite previous ultimatums and highlighted the importance of resolving these issues promptly.
