The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has begun a 7-day warning strike to demand the release of Dr. Ganiyat Popoola, a registrar at the National Eye Centre in Kaduna, who was kidnapped on December 27, 2023. The strike, which started on August 26, 2024, at 12 a.m., will see all resident doctors across the country withdraw their services.
Dr. Popoola’s kidnapping has sparked widespread outrage and concern among healthcare workers, who are demanding better security and protection from the government. NARD has called on the government to take immediate action to secure Dr. Popoola’s release and ensure the safety of all healthcare workers.
The strike will have significant implications for healthcare services across Nigeria, and NARD has warned that there will be no concessions or emergency care during this period. The association has also demanded better security for healthcare workers and their families.
