The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) is set to embark on an indefinite nationwide strike beginning at 12am on Tuesday, April 7, 2026.
They have cited the Federal Government’s plan to halt the implementation of the revised Professional Allowance Table.
This is a key component of agreements reached after its 2025 industrial action.
The decision, which threatens to disrupt healthcare services across public hospitals in Nigeria, was reached at the end of the association’s virtual extraordinary National Executive Council meeting held on Saturday.
Speaking on the outcome of the meeting, NARD National President, Dr Shuaibu Ibrahim, described the development as “unfortunate,” blaming the Federal Government of Nigeria for pushing doctors towards another industrial action.
