UPDATED: Resident Doctors Suspend Strike, Give FG Fresh Ultimatum

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has called off its five-day warning strike just two days after it commenced.

The association, however, issued a fresh two-week ultimatum to the Federal Government to address its demands.

Recall that the doctors embarked on the strike on Friday morning but suspended it on Saturday night, directing members to resume duties today (Sunday).

NARD President, Dr. Tope Osundara, confirmed the development in a WhatsApp message on Saturday.

He said, “Some of our demands have been met. The government has promised to look into other issues. Strike suspended; resumption of work tomorrow (today). We did this as a sign of goodwill and to assist Nigerians who are seeking healthcare in our various facilities.”
