NARD National President, Dr. Mohammad Suleiman, in a statement earlier on Saturday, said the strike followed the expiration of a 30-day ultimatum issued to the Federal Government.
He explained that the decision became necessary after several unfulfilled promises and failed meetings with government officials on better conditions of service, payment of arrears, and improved welfare for doctors nationwide.
