In an effort to prevent a planned strike by the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Tajudeen Abbas, is set to meet with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The meeting aims to address the issues raised by NARD and find a resolution.
The Speaker has also urged the aggrieved doctors to postpone their industrial action and allow the House to mediate.
Additionally, an ad hoc committee, chaired by the House Leader, Prof. Julius Ihonvbere, has been established to engage with all stakeholders and address the concerns.
In a separate development, the Trade Union Congress (TUC) has given the federal government a two-week ultimatum to reach an agreement on negotiations regarding the fuel subsidy removal, or face nationwide protests.
