Nigerian Resident Doctors Raise Concerns Over Unresolved Demands Amid Ultimatum Deadline

The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) in Nigeria has revealed unresolved demands related to welfare and administrative issues as their ultimatum to the federal government nears expiration. Issues include the failure to settle salary arrears, promotions, and benefits, as well as unfair dismissals of resident doctors in federal hospitals.

The doctors also criticize delays in career progression, incorrect salary placements, and inconsistencies in certification processes. The situation has led to concerns about burnout and the quality of healthcare delivery in the country.
