Following a closed-door meeting with Senate senior officers on Tuesday, the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors halted its planned nationwide daily protest.

In an interview with our correspondent, NARD President Emeka Orji stated this.

Orji, on the other hand, stated that a review will take place within the next 72 hours.

“We met with the Senate President, majority and minority leaders, as well as the Whip.” So, the scheduled protest for Wednesday has been canceled, and we will reconsider it in 72 hours.”

The striking doctors had already intended to launch a daily peaceful demonstration beginning Wednesday if the administration did not accept their demands.

The decision followed the Federal Government’s direction to the Chief Medical Directors and Medical Directors of federal tertiary hospitals to begin enforcing the “no work, no pay” policy against the striking doctors.

Following the government’s inability to satisfy their demands, the doctors went on indefinite strike on July 26.

The doctors are calling for the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria to stop downgrading membership certificates issued by West African Postgraduate Medical and Surgical Colleges, as well as the immediate payment of all salary arrears, the implementation of the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure, a new hazard allowance, and the domestication of the Medical Residency Training Act.
