The National Association of Resident Doctors of Nigeria (NARD) is warming up for a nationwide strike. The body of resident doctors vowed that the strike which will begin tomorrow, Thursday, June 9 will be indefinite Dr Muhammad Askira, president of the body of resident doctors made his known to the public. Dr Askira said the association sees it as very important to take “the painful decision” due to the failure of the federal government to grant their request. He added: “Due to the failure of the government to address the demands of NARD, it has declared a total and indefinite strike. “NARD has to take this painful decision in order to highlight the plight of our hardworking members who have had to endure a long period of deprivation and disenfranchisement.” It was a shameful thing to know, regarding refusal to pay workers’ salary by the government, as a teacher who works at Ekiti Baptist High School, stole a pot of amala from her neighbour’s kitchen due to unpaid salary.
