Resident Doctors Begin 7-Day Warning Strike

The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has started a 7-day warning Strike across all its centres nationwide.

Thelagostimes gathered that the doctors are clamouring for the release of their kidnapped member, Dr Ganiyat Popoola, who has been in captivity for over 8 months.

NARD President, Dr Dele Abdullahi, made this known in a statement, noting that the strike will begin Monday, August 26, 2024, at 12am.

Abdullahi stated that the decision was made during the virtual Emergency National Executive Council meeting held on Sunday, August 25, 2024.

According to him, the warning strike will last for one week and will be total, as there will be no emergency care.

Recall that Dr Ganiyat Popoola, a registrar in the Department of Ophthalmology at the National Eye Centre, Kaduna, was abducted nearly 8 months ago, along with her husband and nephew.

However, her husband was released in March, Popoola and her nephew remain in captivity.
