The Association of Resident Doctors of Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta, today threw its weight behind the total and indefinite strike declared by the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors, scheduled to begin at 12:00 midnight on Monday, January 12, 2026.
The resident doctors decried what they described as the insincerity and insensitivity of the federal government in implementing the Memorandum of Understanding [MOU] it signed with NARD following the suspension of the association’s 29-day industrial action in November 2025.
However, the doctors said that more than a month after the government committed to addressing some of their demands, little progress had been made, leaving them with no choice but to join the indefinite strike, disclosed by the Chairman of the association, Dr Chidi Ikwumezie, and represented by his Vice, Dr Grace Adeniyi on Thursday while addressing journalist at the resident doctors quarters of the hospital.
