The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors, NARD, convened an extraordinary National Executive Council meeting on April 7, 2021 to review their ongoing strike and the offers of the Federal Government so far.
The NEC, attended by over 100 members from more than 60 centers across the country via zoom after deliberations, voted unanimously that the “total and indefinite strike”, which started on April 1, be continued until the federal and state governments meet their demands.
Sunday Vanguard spoke with the National President of NARD, Dr Okhuaihesuyi Uyilawa, who said that, despite efforts of the national officers of NARD to ensure that the Federal Government does the needful to prevent the strike, government has continued in their insincerity of promises hence the current stalemate.
