The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) maybe next in line to embark on strike over non-payment of allowances owed their members.
The doctors in a communique issued by it’s President Dele Abdullahi Olaitan, after its general meeting held in Kaduna State, gave a two-week ultimatum to the chief medical directors and managing directors (CMDs/ MDs) to immediately pay the owed allowance.
The resident doctors also warned that failure to comply with the directive would result in nationwide industrial actions.
During the discussion, the group also urged for the abolition of doctor casualisation in order to ensure equitable and stable employment standards throughout the country.
The doctors also emphasised that any assault on medical staff would result in an immediate suspension of services until the area’s safety was secured for practice.
