Members of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors, NARD on Thursday morning, commended a nationwide strike despite Federal Government’s last-minute efforts to stop the action.
The resident doctors, however, assured Nigerians that their action was not meant to hurt them.
They gave the explanation in a message posted on the association’s Twitter handle, @nard_nigeria, on Thursday morning.

The union’s President, Dr Uyilawa Okhuaihesuyi, also confirmed to Channels TV that the strike had commenced by 8am Thursday.
The strike is happening at a time when President Muhammadu Buhari is in London for a medical check-up.
