Resident doctors reject court ruling, file appeal

Peace is not yet in sight in the health sector as the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), yesterday, expressed dissatisfaction with the ruling of the National Industrial Court that restrained its members from continuing with the ongoing strike.

Consequently, the association has instructed its lawyers to appeal the ruling and file an application for stay of its execution.

NARD President, Dr. Uyilawa Okhuaihesuyi, told The Guardian that the association would not call off the strike.

The National Industrial Court sitting in Abuja had, yesterday, ordered NARD to discontinue the strike pending the determination of the substantive suit before it.
