The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has urged Nigerians to bear with them and understand their plights as regards the ongoing strike embarked on by the group.

The doctors on August 1 commenced an industrial strike over “irregular payment of salaries”, among other issues.

The association, in a statement signed by its president, Uyilawa Okhuaihesuyi, said even though the group understands the difficulties the strike has caused for Nigerians, they need to understand that “A hungry doctor is dangerous”

The statement read “Good afternoon Nigerians, I want to deeply on behalf of all resident doctors in Nigeria thank you wholeheartedly for the show of love and empathy towards our cause,” the statement, dated August 16, reads.

“We are not unaware of the sufferings you all are going through due to government insincerity of purpose.

“It is one hundred and twenty days (120) today since we headed your call to call off our industrial action following government memorandum of action. It is five (5) years and eleven (11) months since we signed the memorandum of terms of settlement (MOTOS), yet Government has reneged.

“As you are aware, today, the Government sued us to the National Industrial Court for adjudication. As a law-abiding association, we were in court as summoned, but the ministry of Labour was absent, and only the ministry of Health was present representing the federal government. The case was adjourned to 15th September 2021.

“We once again appeal to Nigerians to bear with us, because a hungry doctor is a dangerous doctor. We are hopeful the Government shall do the needful as it pertains the welfare of our members, thus curbing the ugly incidence of brain drain. Together we can. God bless the beautiful people of Nigeria.”
