Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) on Thursday, April 1 commenced an indefinite strike despite holding a meeting and reportedly signing an agreement with the federal government on Wednesday, March 31.

NARD had threatened to commence an ‘indefinite strike’ on Thursday if the Nigerian government fails to meet its demands.

Issues raised by the aggrieved doctors in their Notice of Trade Dispute include non-payment of salaries of some house officers, non-recruitment of house officers, abolishment of the bench fees for doctors undergoing training in other hospitals, non-payment of National Minimum Wage and hazard allowance.

The strike commenced Thursday morning, and all resident doctors have been directed to join in the strike action immediately.

Minister of Labour and Employment, Doctor Chris Ngige had a conciliatory meeting with the leaders of the union on Wednesday in Abuja.
