The Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare said on Thursday that it would invoke the no-work-no-pay rule against members of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) who are on strike over the abduction of one of their colleagues in Kaduna since December 2023.
The ministry said this in a statement by its Assistant Director of Information and Public Relations, Ado Bako.
The statement expressed disappointment in the resident doctors for embarking on the seven-day warning strike despite ongoing negotiations and efforts to address their concerns.
The ministry emphasised its commitment to ensuring the safety and improving the welfare and working conditions of all healthcare workers, including resident doctors.
It highlighted significant strides made in recent negotiations and the government’s demonstration of good faith in addressing many of NARD’s concerns.
