The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has suspended the indefinite strike embarked upon by its members over non-payment of arrears of allowances and benefits and other issues affecting their welfare.
The strike, which began on November 1, 2025, was suspended after deliberations during an Extraordinary National Executive Council meeting of the association on Saturday.
The President of the association, Mohamed Suleiman, told newsmen that the decision to suspend the strike was reached after an agreement with the government on some of the demands, which culminated in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two parties.
Suleiman explained that the association’s National Executive Council, after reviewing the MoU and the timeline, agreed to suspend the strike and give at least four weeks to ensure that some of those things are implemented.
