The Federal Government has accused the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) of playing with the lives of Nigerians who need them at this critical time.
Dr Chris Ngige, who is the Minister of Labour and Employment, made the allegation on Friday at the opening session of a meeting with the aggrieved doctors in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
He warned the members of the union to stop what he described as toying with the lives of citizens in the name of pressing for better welfare.
According to the minister, neither NARD nor the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) is a trade union and many Nigerians have died as a result of the industrial action by the resident doctors.
He stated that while members of the associations were entitled to some rights, they should be mindful that their actions have serious consequences.
