Resident doctors suspend warning strike after FG threatened to enforce “no work, no pay” policy
The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has directed its members to resume work today, September 2, after a seven-day nationwide warning strike.
The strike was over the abduction of their colleague, Dr Ganiyat Popoola which occurred on December 27, 2023.
Popoola, a registrar in the Department of Ophthalmology at the National Eye Centre, Kaduna, was kidnapped along with her husband and nephew. Her husband was released in March, but Popoola and her nephew remain in captivity.
NARD started a seven-day warning strike last Monday, August 26, to press for the rescue of Popoola,
However, on Thursday, August 29, the Federal Government threatened to invoke the “no work, no pay” policy for the striking resident doctors.
But the doctors said they were unmoved by the threat.
The doctors have now resumed work following the completion of their 7-day warning strike.
NARD said it would review the Federal Government’s commitment to resolving its demand in the next three weeks.
