The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has issued the Federal Government a deadline of August 10, 2026, to address longstanding welfare and labour issues or face a total and comprehensive nationwide industrial strike by resident doctors.
The decision was reached at the association’s July National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held in Gombe State.
The association said the planned strike would commence at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, August 10, if the government fails to meet its demands, which include payment of outstanding salary arrears, allowances, implementation of agreements, and improved working conditions.
The communiqué was jointly signed by NARD President, Dr Mohammad Usman Suleiman; Secretary-General, Dr Shuaibu Ibrahim; and Publicity and Social Secretary, Dr Abdulmajid Yahya Ibrahim, who said the association remained committed to dialogue but insisted that the welfare of resident doctors and the survival of Nigeria’s healthcare system were non-negotiable.
