NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the Federal Government has expressed deep disappointment with the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) for proceeding with their seven-day warning strike despite ongoing negotiations. As a result, the government has invoked the “No Work, No Pay” policy.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Health highlighted that substantial progress had been made in addressing the issues raised by NARD. Despite this, the association proceeded with the strike, raising fears of potential disruptions to healthcare services nationwide.
“It is deeply regrettable that NARD has chosen to strike at this time, especially when the Federal Government has shown considerable goodwill in addressing their demands. We believe that continued dialogue remains the best path forward.”
The Ministry revealed that several concerns related to the welfare and working conditions of resident doctors have already been addressed.
The Ministry noted that this policy is a legal measure under existing labor laws and is necessary to prevent undue disruption to essential healthcare services.
NewsOnline Nigeria recalls that the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) initiated a nationwide seven-day warning strike in response to the ongoing captivity of one of their own, Dr. Ganiyat Popoola.
