The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors, NARD, has embarked on a nationwide seven-day warning strike.
The strike which began today, Monday, August 26, 2024, is in response to the abduction of Ganiyat Popoola, a registrar in the Department of Ophthalmology at the National Eye Centre, Kaduna.
Announcing the commencement of the Warning Strike after an emergency meeting at the National Executive Council, Dr. Dele Abdullahi, President of NARD said: “The strike is total, and there will be no concessions or emergency care during this period,” he said.
It would be recalled that NARD members had protested against Dr. Popoola’s abduction last Thursday, August 15, in Lagos.
The demonstration was organized by Resident Doctors at Federal Medical Centre, Ebute-Metta.
Popoola was kidnapped on December 27, 2023, along with her husband and nephew. Although her husband was released in March, Dr. Popoola and her nephew remain in captivity after eight months.
