The
association also condemned the non-payment of the 2024 accoutrement
allowance arrears, and the outstanding five months’ arrears arising from
the 25 percent/35 percent consolidated medical salary structure review.
A 10-day ultimatum has been issued by the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD).
The doctors threatened to embark on strike action if their demands are not met.
The warning was contained in a communiqué signed by Tope Osundara,
its president; Oluwasola Odunbaku, its general secretary; and Omoha
Amobi, its publicity and social secretary; after a national executive
council (E-NEC) meeting held virtually on Sunday, August 31.
In July, NARD issued a three-week ultimatum, which was subsequently
extended by three weeks, to engage with all relevant stakeholders,
after which it would reconvene to reassess the extent of implementation
of its demands.
During Sunday’s meeting, the E-NEC condemned the federal
government’s failure to fulfil its promises, noting that a substantial
number of resident doctors remain unpaid for their 2025 medical
residency training fund.
The association also condemned the non-payment of the 2024
accoutrement allowance arrears, and the outstanding five months’ arrears
arising from the 25 percent/35 percent consolidated medical salary
structure review.
“The E-NEC expressed displeasure over the unjust downgrading of
the membership certificates of the West African Colleges of Physicians
and Surgeons by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, as well as
the persistent non-issuance of membership certificates by the National
Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria,” the communique reads.
“The E-NEC condemned in strong terms the failure of the Kaduna
State Government to honour its commitments to members under ARD Kaduna
and Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital, despite earlier agreements and signed
Memoranda of Understanding.
“The E-NEC condemned the failure of the Oyo State Government to
address the challenges faced by members of ARD LAUTECH Teaching
Hospital, Ogbomosho, despite an ongoing indefinite strike action in the
hospital.”
The association demanded the immediate payment of the outstanding
2025 MRTF to all eligible resident doctors, the settlement of the
outstanding five months’ arrears of CONMESS, the commencement of payment
of specialist allowances to all doctors, and the restoration of the
recognition of the West African postgraduate membership certificates to
their rightful status.
“The E-NEC demands the immediate implementation of the 2024
CONMESS and resolution of all outstanding welfare concerns in Kaduna
State, noting that the indefinite strike by our members has already
resumed and will continue until these demands are met,” the communique added.
“The E-NEC demands that the Governor of Oyo State, His
Excellency Governor Seyi Makinde, immediately resolve the welfare
concerns of resident doctors under the employment of the state
government, particularly those at LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Ogbomosho.
“The E-NEC urges all State Governors to prioritise the welfare
of doctors in their state-owned hospitals and training institutions,
ensure the timely payment of MRTF to their resident doctors, and take
proactive steps to curb emigration while maintaining industrial
harmony.
“The E-NEC extends the ultimatum by a final 10 days to all relevant government agencies to meet these demands.
“Failure to do so within this period (expiring on Wednesday,
10th September 2025) will leave the NEC with no other option than to
embark on a nationwide strike action.”
