Resident Doctors commence five-day warning strike
The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has commenced a five-day warning strike today, following the expiration of its fresh ultimatum to the Federal Government over unpaid allowances, salary arrears and unresolved welfare issues.
The association announced the industrial action after what it described as government inaction on long-standing demands.
In a message titled: “Declaration of strike action” on Friday by NARD Secretary-General, Dr. Oluwasola Odunbaku, the association confirmed the commencement of the strike.
“Good morning, NEC Members, thank you all for your continued cooperation and understanding. As clearly stated in our earlier communique, the strike has commenced at 8:00 am today.
“All Centre leadership is expected to guide their members accordingly. Further updates will be communicated to NEC members in due course,” he said.
