The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has told the federal government to resolve all pending issues affecting the union in four weeks or face the consequences.
The president of the association, Uyilawa Okhuaihesuyi during a media briefing on Thursday, noted that the ultimatum was issued after a meeting of the union’s national executive council (NEC).
He accused the government of not treating their issues and agreements with expected alacrity hence the need to issue the deadline.

The doctors had embarked on a strike on April 1 but suspended it off on April 10 based on an agreement with the government to attend to their 13-point demand.
However, Okhuaihesuyi on Thursday said the government has so far failed to hounour the agreements reached before the strike was called off.
Okhuaihesuyi said “The NEC unanimously resolved that the total and indefinite strike embarked upon by members on the 1st of April 2021 should remain suspended and the federal government and states be given four weeks to resolve all pending issues as stated,” he said.
