The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARDs), has issued a nationwide strike notice effective Sept. 4.

Dr Olusegun Olaopa, the President of NARDs, University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, announced this on Wednesday in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ibadan.

Olaopa said that the resident doctors would commence an indefinite industrial action on Monday to press home their demands.

According to him, the action is sequel to a statement signed by Drs John Onyebueze and Aneke Emmanuel, National President and Secretary of NARDs, respectively.

The statement said that it was resolved at the NEC meeting of NARDs held in Abuja on Aug. 26 to embark on the strike.

“Neither the federal nor state governments has shown commitment to the resolution of issues at stake nor honoured previous agreements.

“Consequent upon this, the association resolved to proceed on a total indefinite industrial action from Monday, September 4, 2017, until all these issues are permanently resolved.

“Nationwide pre-strike protests against this injustice are to hold in all our branches and states of the federation on Aug. 30, 2017.

“All heads of tertiary health institutions who have received funding for payments to our members should be directed to pay same immediately,” it said.

NAN reports that the members of NARDs are demanding for the resolution of persistent shortfalls and unpaid arrears of salaries earned in both federal and state tertiary health institutions.

Other issues are the enrollment of resident doctors into the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) since 2003, and non-implementation of adjusted House Officers’ Entry grade level equivalent since 2014.

The resident doctors are also asking for the resolution of issues around their stagnation of promotion and non-promotion of members who have met requisite criteria despite all collective bargaining agreements and circulars.

NAN recalls that resident doctors in UCH had on Jan. 6, embarked on a one-day protest rally over non-payment of their November and December 2016 salaries. (NAN)

Nothing is working in this administration.

Wetin we no see for this life, they are tired of saving life or what??

The whole country should just go on strike, so we'd know nothing and no one is working

After them make another sector strike too

Since pmb only believes in London Doctors, no doubt he gives no hoot if these ones go on strike.

Hmm... This is getting serious

No one would have known things would turn out this way. PMB himself is good hearted but not effective enough. The Nigeria we all envision needs an effective leader.

GEJ was no better so the last election was a choice between the devil and deep blue sea. PMB capitalised on GEJ's cluelessness to ride to power and now he's not only clueless but also sick, ineffective, and insensitive.

God help us all.

Another strike

I understand your pain..but then have you tried commenting not to sooth your reading alone?

This is Nairaland where you find the good the bad and the ugly so try make your comment fit into those 3 categories of people, am so sure with that you would have as many likes and mentions you desire

NB- Not all hate comment you respond to...we might all be anonymous but maturity differenciates us.

In that case let me be your first like and mention

Space booked, though I have nothing to say for now.

Damnable Zoological republic, Zoogeria.

Buhari found himself incompetent ministers so they all could be at the same level of reasoning with him, and not ask him too many questions
