The doctors had last week met with the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige and the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole where government made some offers to them.
A plea which went unheeded as the association resolved to embark on an indefinite strike until all its demands are met.
Among other demands, the association wants its immediate enrollment on the IPPIS platform without further delay.
Its also asking Government to stop its plan to stagnate the promotion of resident doctors an wants an immediate payment of salary shortfalls experienced between January and May 2017.
A one paragraph statement signed by NARD President, Dr. Onyebueze John in Abuja read, “Rising from our NEC meeting, which started by 7pm yesterday and ended 3am today. NARD has resolved to reject the promissory offer from Government, and proceed on total and indefinite strike action until all items in her demand list for strike action are resolved by Government.”
