NARD directs resident Doctors to resume work fully on Wednesday

The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has directed its members across the country to resume work fully from Wednesday.

This direction follows the suspension of the resident doctors 9 weeks strike in the nation.

NARD’s President, Dr Dare Godiya Ishaya, made this announcement in Abuja on Monday while briefing reporters.

He explained that the association took the decision to suspend the industrial action due to a simple majority vote of members at a meeting held on Sunday.

Ishaya, however, stated that the strike has been suspended for six weeks to allow the Federal Government to address the issues raised by the doctors.

He said while most of the issues that led to the nationwide strike still remained unaddressed, the association decided to suspend the action for the period because of interventions from the President, the National Assembly, and the leadership of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA).
