The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has announced plans to embark on a total, comprehensive, and indefinite strike as from 11:59 p.m. on Friday, October 31.
The decision followed a five-hour extraordinary National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held last Sunday, where members unanimously resolved that the Federal Government had failed to address their demands despite a 30-day ultimatum issued earlier.
In a statement at the weekend, NARD President, Dr. Mohammad Suleiman, said the association’s National Officers Committee had “executed its mandate with grace and confidence” but was compelled to proceed with the industrial action.
He added: “The NEC has unanimously directed us to declare a total, comprehensive, and indefinite strike action to commence on Friday, 31st October 2025, at 11:59 p.m.”
Suleiman explained that the council had outlined the minimum demands and strike monitoring directives to ensure full compliance by members across the country.
The NARD president directed all centre presidents and general secretaries to convene emergency congress meetings to brief members on the resolutions reached at the meeting.
He accused some individuals within and outside the government of attempting to exploit resident doctors but vowed that the association would resist such moves.
According to him, members have been advised to use the days before the strike to hand over patients, engage traditional and religious leaders, and sensitise the public and media on the reasons for their action.
“Trust the process, believe in your leaders, and remain resolute. Victory is certain,” Suleiman said.
