NARD promises to resume strike if FG refuses to meet its Demand

The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has promised to resume the recently suspended strike if the Federal Government refuses to meet its demands.

Dr. Uyilawa Okhuaihesuyi,  the association president, gave the warning on behalf of his colleagues when he featured as a guest on Sunrise Daily (a Channels Television program) on Monday.

“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,” he said.

The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) had previously embarked on a nationwide strike, on the 1st of April. however, the strike was suspended on the 10th of April after a 6-hour meeting with the Federal Government.
