On Tuesday evening, the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors announced an indefinite strike.
The strike will start on Wednesday, July 26, 2023, at 12 am, according to Dr. Emeka Orji, President of NARD, who revealed this on Tuesday.
The choice was decided, according to Orji, at the National Executive Council meeting held in Lagos in July.
