NARD Suspends Proposed Strike
The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors, NARD, yesterday, suspended its planned nationwide strike following the intervention of Vice President Kashim Shettima who stepped in to address the critical concerns raised by the aggrieved doctors.
This was confirmed by the National President of NARD, Dr Mohammad Suleiman, after the meeting of the National Executive Council, NEC.
Suleiman stated that the Vice President had contacted NARD leadership and issued directives that led to the resolution of several outstanding issues, while also appealing for additional time to address other matters.
Suleiman said: “Following his intervention, the National Executive Council, NEC, of the association convened and unanimously resolved to respect the President’s efforts and halt the strike action that was scheduled to begin tomorrow.
“This decision was reached just a few hours ago, and more information will be communicated shortly.”
He added that a detailed communiqué outlining the resolutions and next steps would be released in the coming days.
“Once I am fully recovered, I will also address the press to explain these issues in greater detail. For now, we are giving the government additional time to act in good faith.”
