The National Association of Resident Doctors of Nigeria (NARD) has
directed its members in hospitals that had not received full salaries by
end of July, to take necessary actions including total withdrawal of
services to ensure compliance.
The President of the association, Dr Muhammad Askira, gave the directive while briefing newsmen in Kano on Monday.
He said the decision to give the directive was taken at the National
Executive Council meeting of the association held between July 25 and
July 30, in Keffi, Nasarawa State.
“Many Federal Tertiary hospitals are yet to pay full salaries for
doctors despite the directive and agreement that such should commence
latest by end of July.
“Instead our colleagues are subjected to various degrees of
victimisation as a result of their roles in the just suspended
nationwide strike by NARD.
“This is contrary to the spirit of negotiations and reconciliation
reached with the government at the instance of the Speaker, House of
Representatives, Yakubu Dogara,” he said.
Askira said NARD would continue to monitor developments at the 25
branches that failed to honour the agreement as they engage their
respective managements.
