Resident Doctors Commence Nationwide Strike

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.
