Breaking: Tinubu waives “no work no pay” rules against doctors
President Bola Tinubu on Friday announced a waiver of the “No Work No Pay” order against resident doctors who embarked on an industrial action over poor conditions of service this year.
A statement by Ajuri Ngelale Special Adviser on Media to the President said Tinubu involved his presidential prerogative of mercy, after several constructive engagements with the resident doctors.
“After several constructive engagements between the Federal Government and NARD, the Resident Doctors called off their strike on August 12, 2023.
“The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation was directed to withhold all salaries accrued by striking NARD members during the 17 days of their strike action,” the statement said

Ngelale said in view of the faithful implementation of terms which were agreed upon during the deliberations between the Resident Doctors and the Federal Government of Nigeria, “President Bola Tinubu has directed the grant of an exceptional last waiver of the “No Work, No Pay” Order on Resident Doctors, which will allow for the members of the NARD to receive the salaries which were previously withheld during the 17-day strike action.”
He said the President has directed the grant of the waiver with a mandatory requirement that the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare and the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment must secure a Document of Understanding (DoU) establishing that this exceptional waiver granted by the President will be the last one to be granted to the National Association of Resident Doctors and all other Health Sector Unions.
