Federal Government has again appealed to the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) to call off its strike, saying the association has lost all moral and legal grounds to continue its seven-day-old action.

Speaking to journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, said the Federal Government has not only substantially met the seven-point demand by NARD, it has also demonstrated transparency in their implementation.“The House officers have started receiving their payments in the federal government Teaching Hospitals and Federal Medical Centres across the federation.

“We have also abolished benching in training as well as stopped the deduction of N15,000 per month from the salaries of House doctors for accommodation. We directed the refund of the deductions and the entire money is now paid to the House Doctors to negotiate with the local authorities and sort out individual accommodation.“The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria has also opened her online portal for the recruitment of House officers effective April 1, 2021 in the spirit of the MoA.
