File: Doctors

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors on Monday warned that it would resume a total, indefinite, and comprehensive strike if the Federal Government fails to implement agreed-upon demands within four weeks.

The announcement was made in a communique issued at the end of NARD’s Extraordinary National Executive Council meeting, signed by its President, Dr. Mohammad Suleiman; Secretary-General, Dr. Shuaibu Ibrahim; and Publicity and Social Secretary, Dr. Abdulmajid Ibrahim.

The association had suspended its indefinite strike on Saturday after 29 days of industrial action, following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the government.

The MoU committed the government to meet NARD’s demands within four weeks. Punch
