Resident doctors to embark on strike

File: Doctors

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has declared an indefinite nationwide strike over the federal government’s plan to halt the implementation of the revised professional allowance table (PAT).

Shuaibu Ibrahim, NARD’s secretary-general, announced the decision after the association’s virtual extraordinary national executive council (NEC) meeting held on Saturday.

Ibrahim said the strike will begin at 12am on Tuesday, April 7.

The NARD’s secretary-general described the development as “unfortunate”, accusing the federal government of pushing doctors into another industrial action. Thecable
