Without prejudice to the labour laws and other extant laws of the land, the industrial action had already begun before the MOA was signed and as such, not tenable,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey noted the admittance of the Hon Minister of state for health who wholeheartedly agreed that all the issues raised by NARD in her communique are germane and legitimate and further admitted that bureaucratic bottlenecks in government led to delay\/ non-implementation of previous memoranda signed with NARD.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the avoidance of doubt, the NEC stated clearly that the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors is not a financial arm of the Nigerian government and therefore not involved in any form of payment of residency training funding as was alleged in the meeting called at the instance of the HMoLE (honourable minister of labour and employment).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo set the record straight, the offices and officers involved are the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria and her Registrar as well as the Office of Hospital services and her Director. When the errors in payment were noticed, NARD informed both bodies appropriately for further action as may be necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After appraising the government\u2019s response to its demands, the association said the industrial action goes on although it is still mindful of its oath to take care of patients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to use this medium to reiterate our commitment to the smooth running of all tertiary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/03\/31\/jamb-to-financial-institutions-dont-sell-utme-form-above-n3500\/\">institutions<\/a> in the country and the provision of specialist healthcare to Nigerians but we need to first of all care for our own health and welfare in order to give standard care to our patients.
