Meanwhile, the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has declared a five-day warning strike.

Super FM gathered that the industrial action will commence on Wednesday, May 17, and will end on Monday, May 22.

The decision to down tool was taken after the doctors’ extraordinary National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held virtually.

The resident doctors have been at loggerheads with the Federal Government over poor remuneration, and better welfare for their members among other concerns.
