Wahala Don Happen Oo! Resident Doctors Suspend Strike After Talks With FG, But Say Matter Never Finish
Wahala don happen for Nigeria’s health sector as the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) has suspended its planned nationwide strike earlier fixed for Monday, January 12, 2026. The decision followed fresh engagements with the Federal Government, with the North-Central caucus of the association announcing the suspension in the interest of patients while discussions continue. However, caucus leader, Dr Fanen Dogoh, stressed that the issues that led to the strike threat remain unresolved. The doctors had planned industrial action over the government’s failure to honour a Memorandum of Understanding with NARD. Key demands include the reinstatement of doctors sacked from Federal Teaching Hospital, Lokoja, over union activities, and payment of outstanding salaries and allowances, including 18 months’ arrears owed in institutions such as FTH Makurdi and UITH Ilorin. Other grievances include delayed entry salaries, unpaid promotion arrears and non-implementation of reviewed professional allowances. The association warned it may resume the strike if concrete action is not taken.
