The Federal Government is yet to receive any official communication from resident doctors on their new demands for an end of their 56-day old strike.
The government however, assured that it would make its position known to the doctors once it received such communication from the striking doctors’ umbrella body, the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors, NARD.
The Association had at the end of its 41st Annual General Meeting and Scientific Conference in Bauchi, Bauchi State, asked the government to pay the salary arrears of its members on the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System, GIFMIS
NARD however explained yesterday that it was ready to negotiate with the Federal Government if it is able to meet the 72-hour ultimatum it gave for the minimum conditions to be met.
The Association’s new President Dare Ishaya had earlier told reporters that he was keen to see the association’s face-off with the Federal Government brought to end.
