The MoU, based on NARD’s nineteen-point demands, addresses critical welfare, remuneration, and professional practice issues affecting resident doctors across Nigeria.
Justice Emmanuel Subilim of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, Abuja, on Friday, issued an order restraining NARD and its members from embarking on the strike scheduled to commence on January 12.
Justice Subilim, ruled on a motion ex parte filed by the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), following submissions by the Director of Civil Litigation at the Federal Ministry of Justice, Maimuna Lami Shiru, who led a team of ministry lawyers in moving the motion.
However, at a press briefing in Port Harcourt, NARD Uniport President, Dr. Ezinne Kalu, said the union had previously suspended its strike in November 2025, trusting that the federal government would implement the MoU.
