In a court document obtained by SaharaReporters, the Federal Government of Nigeria and Federal Ministry of Health were judgement creditors while members of NARD alongside the association's president, secretary general and Crown Prince were judgment debtors.

The National Industrial Court in Nigeria has ordered striking members of the National Association of Resident Doctors to resume work or risk being jailed. In the document issued on September 3, the court also asked the striking members to suspend all forms of hostilities else they will be guilty of contempt of court and “liable to be committed to prison".

“In the matter of an application for commital proceedings for disobediemce to court order against Dr. Okhuaihesum Uyilawa, President of NARD; Dr Jerry K Isogun, Secretary General, NARD; Dr Dare Godiya Ishaya, Crown Prince NARD and NARD members. The doctors went on strike on August 1 to protest against inadequate allowances, irregular payment of salaries, among others.

“It is hereby ordered that claimant/applicant and the defendant/respondent suspend all forms of hostilities forthwith pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.” However, a source said the Nigerian government had gone to court behind the doctors and obtained the exparte motion against the doctors.

“An order of interlocutory injunction compelling all members of the defendant/respondent in all States of the federation to suspend the said industrial action commenced on the 2nd August, 2021 and resume work immediately pending the determination of the substantive suit.
