The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, on Wednesday, appealed to the National Association of Resident Doctors, NARD, to call off its strike as it has lost all moral and legal ground to continue it’s seven days old action.
Speaking to newsmen in Abuja today, the Minister said the Federal Government has not only substantially met the Seven-Point demand by NARD, it has also demonstrated transparency in their implementation.

I spoke with the Accountant General of the Federation(AGF) as well as with two Chief medical directors of teaching hospitals this morning and they confirmed payment to house officers.
