The strike embarked upon by the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) on Wednesday has disrupted health services in public facilities across the country. Our reporters observed that there was compliance with the strike by members of NARD in the health facilities visited in parts of the country.

NARD announced the strike on Tuesday night after its virtual extra-ordinary National Executive Council (NEC) meeting. The president of the association, Dr Orji Emeka Innocent, said the association embarked on strike due to the failure of the federal government to meet its demands. He decried government’s slow response to the demands despite giving several ultimatums.
