<p>This was made known to the public Dr Uyilawa Okhuaihesuyi, President of the NARD after the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting.</p>
<p>In the statement, NARD stressed that Federal government failed to implement the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) it signed with them on March 31, 2021.</p>
<p>The statement reads in part, “We are embarking on a total and indefinite strike on August 2, 2021 [Monday]. You can recall we had a memorandum of action on March 31, 2021, and had an addendum to it on April 9, and since then, we still have had irregularities in the payment of salaries to the house officers.</p>
<p>“We had issues with them being non-regular payment and as part of the memorandum of action, it was said that they should be captured back into the IPPS platform.”</p>
