NARD insists welfare and infrastructure issues still subject to implementation review

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has hailed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his intervention in resolving the ongoing standoff with the Federal Government over members’ welfare and the state of health-sector infrastructure.
Addressing reporters in Abuja, the NARD President, Dr Mohammad Suleiman, flanked by union executives, insisted that the recommendation to transfer two of the union’s members out of the Federal Teaching Hospital, Lokoja, was unacceptable and firmly rejected by the association.
The union expressed appreciation for the Federal Government’s commitment, but insisted that the agreement which led to the suspension of its Total Strike 2.0, remained subject to review within two weeks.
The union warned that failure to fully implement the immediate reinstatement of two of the seven previously disengaged doctors could become a fresh source of contention.
