Ayodeji Ake

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has threatened to embark on nationwide industrial action if the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Administration fails to withdraw queries issued to members of the Executive Council of the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), FCT chapter.

NARD, in a statement signed by its President, Dr. Mohammad Usman Suleiman; Secretary-General, Dr. Shuaibu Ibrahim, and Publicity and Social Secretary, Dr. Abdulmajid Yahya Ibrahim, accused the FCT authorities of victimising the affected doctors for communicating the position of the national body on its planned industrial action.

The statement followed the issuance of queries to members of the ARD FCT Executive Council after the association notified the authorities of its planned nationwide industrial action scheduled to commence on August 10.
