Resident Doctors across Nigeria have embarked on strike despite meeting with governmment representatives
The conciliatory meeting brokered by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, ended midnight on Wednesday.
This could not stop the resident doctors from embarking on strike
Although, far reaching decisions were made at the meeting which led to a new memorandum of action, the Resident doctors insist the planned strike kicks off from 8am today.
The Minister who spoke at the end of the meeting, said the government was waiting for the Resident doctors to hold their meeting and revert on their decision.
However, NARD President, Uyilawa Okhuaihesuyi did not confirm.or deny the Minister's submission.
He said his members would meet to review the gains and losses of the meeting before coming out with a decision.
But in the meantime, he says the planned nationwide strike commences at 8 this morning.
