The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has called off its nationwide warning strike after two days, following partial compliance by the government with its demands.

Key Points:

  • NARD President Tope Osundara cited "goodwill toward Nigerians seeking healthcare" as a reason
  • The government has promised to address the remaining issues, including unpaid arrears
  • Outstanding demands include certificate recognition issues and manpower shortages
  • The corrected remuneration circular from NSIWC remains pending
  • The five-day warning strike had paralyzed operations in federal hospitals nationwide
  • NARD will continue monitoring the government's implementation of agreements
The resolution demonstrates the delicate balance between labor demands and public healthcare needs in Nigeria's medical sector.
