Nigerian doctors vow to continue strike despite govt’s ‘no work, no pay’ threat
National Association of Resident Doctors
The government threatened to invoke the rule on Tuesday, a day after the NARD, the association of certified doctors undergoing residency to become consultants, began an indefinite strike over the failure of the government to meet their demands.The doctors said they downed tools over unpaid salaries, non-payment of hazard allowance, and a dearth of Personal Protective Equipment in hospitals, among several other reasons.
Responding to the threat, Mr Sokomba told PREMIUM TIMES in a phone interview Wednesday night that they were expecting such a response from the government. “None of these has been addressed. If you asked them today, they will say they have paid hazard allowance to insurance companies and all. If they have paid, then it is ghosts they are paying because no doctor in Nigeria or even any health worker has received any such allowance.
