The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors on Saturday said it will embark on peaceful protests from Wednesday, August 9, 2023, if the Federal Government does not meet its demands. NARD also said it will be picketing the Federal Ministry of Health, the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, and the federal and state tertiary health institutions in the country. The association made this known in a circular titled, ‘Notice of nationwide mass protests and picketing by NARD,’ and addressed to the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Health, Olufunso Adebiyi. The FG also directed the hospitals to maintain an attendance register for all resident doctors willing to work. “This has become necessary to press home our demands which have been largely neglected by our parent ministry and the Federal Government.
