Resident Doctors Issue Ultimatum to Government; Nationwide Strike Threat

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) issued a 10-day ultimatum to the government, threatening a nationwide strike if their demands are not met. The ultimatum followed a meeting where NARD expressed dissatisfaction with the government's failure to fulfill promises, including unpaid salaries and arrears.

The association condemned the government's inaction regarding the Medical Residency Training Fund and salary structure reviews. NARD emphasized the unjust downgrading of its members' certificates by medical bodies.

The ultimatum aims to push the government to address these critical issues affecting resident doctors across Nigeria.
