Failure to meet our demands in four weeks, we will resume strike – Doctors warns FG

Doctors under the aegis of the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) have asked the Federal Government to honour its agreement with the union within four weeks.

Recall that the association had on April 1 embarked on strike, but it was suspended after 10 days following a meeting with the government on Saturday.

But the Union has warned that should the government fail to honour its agreement in the next four weeks, they would be forced to declare another indefinite nationwide industrial action.

President of NARD, Dr Uyilawa Okhuaihesuyi, gave the warning on Monday during his appearance on Sunrise Daily a program on Channels TV.

He said, “We have been given a leap of faith to believe in the system and we hope and pray that the system does not fail us.

The doctor added, “If it fails us, we don’t have a choice but to call a meeting in the next four weeks, which is the timeline for this strike that we suspended.

“If our demands are not met in four weeks’ time, I think it will go back to us going on indefinite strike again.”
