The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors, NARD on Saturday announced plans to embark on daily peaceful protests and picketing of the Federal Ministry of Health, Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, as well as all federal and state tertiary health institutions nationwide.
NARD in a notice after its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, jointly signed by the National President, Dr. Emeka Orji and the Secretary, Dr. Chikezie Kelechi, said the mass action will take effect from Wednesday, August 9, 2023.
The statement noted that the action has become necessary to press home the doctors’ demands, which according to them, have been largely neglected by their parent ministry and the federal government.
They expressed belief that the government still has time to genuinely address the issues at stake before Wednesday, August 9, 2023, or leave the association with no other option than to protest.
The federal government had three days ago slammed a ‘No work, No pay policy’ against the striking resident doctors.
