Nigerian Resident Doctors Threaten Fresh Indefinite Strike, Accuse Tinubu Government of Ignoring MoU

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has warned of a possible nationwide indefinite strike due to the Federal Government’s failure to implement a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed after a previous 29-day strike. NARD Secretary-General Dr. Shuaibu Ibrahim highlighted persistent delays, unfulfilled commitments, and broken timelines by the Federal Ministry of Health, stressing that resident doctors form the backbone of tertiary healthcare. The association appealed to medical elders and national leaders to intervene and prevent another shutdown that could disrupt healthcare delivery across Nigeria.
