JUST IN: Resident doctors extend strike ultimatum by 24 hours
The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has extended by 24 hours the nationwide strike scheduled to begin today, following the expiration of its 10-day ultimatum for the Federal Government to meet its welfare demands.
The association warned that a full-scale strike would commence if the demands were not met within the extension window.
NARD President, Dr. Tope Osundara, announced the decision in a text message on Thursday morning, explaining that it followed a six-hour meeting of the association’s National Executive Council (NEC).
