Why we suspended strike – NARD

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has explained why it suspended its nationwide strike more than two weeks after it commenced.

The president of NARD, Emeka Orji, who confirmed the development to PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday, said the association decided to suspend the strike due to significant moves by the federal government to address its demands.

Mr Orji said the National Executive Council (NEC) of NARD met and concluded it’s in the best interest to give the government two weeks to meet their demands.
