Again, Abass meets with resident doctors over strike

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abass, on Wednesday met with the national leadership of the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) in Abuja.

The doctors began an indefinite strike on Wednesday over the Federal Government’s failure to honour their demands.

The association was demanding the immediate payment of a backlog of unpaid salaries to its members, payment of the 2023 medical residency training fund (MRTF) and the immediate release of the circular on one-for-one replacement, among others.
