The Federal Government has reached out to the National Association of Resident Doctors to avert the planned strike action by the association.
According to report, when Adesina announced on Thursday that the President would travel to London for medical “follow-up” checkup, NARD also issued a fresh four-week ultimatum to the federal and state governments to address its demands, including the payment of hazard allowances.
The President of NARD, Dr Uyilawa Okhuaihesuyi, who disclosed this on Friday, explained that the meeting is aimed at resolving contentious issues.
The association listed some other terms and conditions for the federal and state governments to meet or else it would embark on strike.
However, NARD President Okhuaihesuyi said that the Federal Government had reached out to the association and proposed a meeting date.
He said, “We have received a letter from the Federal Government and a meeting has been arranged with the Ministry of Health. That will be next Tuesday, June 29.
“We will be meeting them and I will definitely give a follow-up on the outcome of our meeting.”
NARD had on April 1 embarked on a two-week strike – a day after the President embarked on a medical trip to London for a routine medical check-up.
