The leadership of the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has faulted the ruling of the National Industrial Court (NIC) directing its members to return to work.
A communique jointly signed by NARD President, Dr Uyilawa
Okhuaihesuyi, and the union’s Secretary-General, Dr Jerry Isogun, on
Friday revealed that the doctors have begun the process to appeal the
ruling.
“As we are all aware, especially those that were present in court today
(Friday), the NIC has given a ruling on the application for interlocutory
injunction filed by the Federal Government,” the statement said. “We
are not satisfied with the ruling.
“After consultations with our lawyers, we have instructed our lawyers to
appeal the ruling and file an application for stay of execution.”
