NARD Members To Resume Work

Members of the National Association of Resident Doctors, NARD, have resolved to suspend their two months old industrial action.

At their emergency national executive council meeting, held in Abuja yesterday, NARD resolved to go back to work beginning from 8am this Wednesday.

Earlier, during the meeting, the doctors had a very long debate over how to proceed with the dispute with the government, resulting in a vote.

NARD representative at the university college hospital, UCH, Ibadan, Doctor Temitope Hussain, confirmed that work will resumes on the said day.

The resident doctors had gone on strike to demand the implementation of the memorandum of agreement they reached with federal government and to protest the alleged non-payment of arrears of salaries and allowances to some of their members.
