The Federal Government has directed all medical directors in the country to open attendant registers for striking resident doctors.
The government gave the directive as the meeting between its representatives and the leadership of the National Association of Resident Doctors ended in a deadlock on Tuesday.
He frowned on the decision by the resident doctors to down tools in a crucial period when the world was struggling to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, saying Nigeria was the first country in the world where doctors went on strike during a pandemic. While urging the striking doctors to read up the Labour Act and regulations of the International Labour Organisation on essential services, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, said he hoped the resident doctors saw reason and resume work without delay.
