The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) have called off
their strike action which they started on Monday June 20th. In a
statement signed by their president, Mohammed Askira, the group said the
strike which they embarked on to protest the the non-payment of 10
months salaries of some of its members, was called off due to the
hardship some Nigerians have faced since they started they strike.The Federal government had on Tuesday June 21st, ordered the replacement
of all resident doctors who failed to show up for work due to the
strike action.
While calling off the strike, the President of the Resident doctors said
they will be back to work fully on Monday June 27th. He urged the
Federal government to implement the agreement it reached with the
association before July 14th, assuring his colleagues that none of them
would be victimised for joining the strike.
