The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH) branch has commenced a five-day warning strike over the non-payment of salaries owed some members.

Vice President of the association Doctor ASHIRU MIKAIL made this known during a news conference in Zaria today.

MIKAIL said that the association gave the management of the hospital a one-week ultimatum on July 15, to address their demands or be faced with a warning strike.

He said that the ultimatum expired yesterday, hence the commencement of the warning strike.

He added that the association would reconvene to review its strategy after the warning strike with a view to determine the next line of action.
