THE leadership of the National Association of Resident Doctors will be meeting the Federal Government’s delegation on Tuesday (today) in a bid to forestall a fresh strike by members of the association. Ahead of the meeting, the NARD on Monday listed some conditions that must be met if it would not call out its members for a fresh strike. Ahead of the meeting, Uyilawa told The PUNCH on Monday that federal and state governments must be willing to meet their demands to forestall fresh strike. He said the association would no longer tolerate the usual practice where governments would promise and fail on their demands. He called on the governors of Abia, Imo, Ondo, Kaduna and Ekiti states to ensure that salary arrears being owed doctors were paid.
