The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has issued a four-week ultimatum to the Federal Government to fully implement all outstanding agreements bordering on salaries, allowances and welfare of its members, even as it extended the suspension of its Total Indefinite Comprehensive Strike (TICS).
In a communiqué jointly signed by the NARD President, Dr. Mohammad Suleiman; Secretary-General, Dr. Shuaibu Ibrahim; and Publicity and Social Secretary, Dr. Abdulmajid Ibrahim, the association announced that the strike suspension has been extended for another four weeks as a goodwill gesture.
NARD said the decision was taken in recognition of what it described as progress made by the Federal Government in ongoing engagements. The association also expressed appreciation to President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, and other key stakeholders for their interventions and roles in the dialogue process.
However, the doctors warned that failure by the Federal Government to meet the agreed demands within the four-week window could force the association to reconsider its stance.
