National Association of Resident Doctors, umbrella body of junior doctors working in government health facilities, has issued a notice of strike effective Monday, June 15, 2020.

The association said the call to strike also includes doctors attending to Covid-19 patients and other energencies.

National President of NARD, Mr Aliyu Sokomba, said this in an official letter with reference number NARD/SG/2019-2020 <tel:2019-2020>/070620/246.

Sokomba said the action had become necessary due to the failure of the government to redeem its pledges especially in the area of salary arrears and working conditions.

The doctors vowed that “the strike shall be total and indefinite”.
