Report reaching the news desk of CEOAFRICA.com indicates that ongoing strike embarked upon by members of the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) continues nationwide.

Disclosing this at the end of its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Abuja, NARD insisted that government should settle its demands which include the payment of salaries and allowances to its members.

According to a communiqué issued at the end of the meeting, NARD President, Dr. Jubril Abdullahi, and Acting Secretary General, Dr. Udu Chijoke Udu, blamed the government for delaying the resolution of the crisis.

 “All salaries and allowances of our members (House members and resident doctors) must be paid in full with immediate effect.

“The government must release and implement the stakeholders’ agreement on residency training programme of July 5 and 6, 2013.”

NARD also demanded that the alleged victimization of its members at the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri, Imo State be properly investigated.

“This is not the first time we have been talking. We have met, signed agreements; yet, nothing has changed for over 40 years.”
