 The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors and ARD-NED on Saturday threatened to short down Nigerians' health system with a nationwide strike if the federal government fails to implement 200% salary increment for doctors. To this end, the doctors issued a two-week ultimatum to the federal government to meet their demands of faith due rough. The doctors issued the ultimatum in a communique issued at the end of their extraordinary national executive council NEC meeting held in a Bilquita-Filgrin state's capital. Addressing journalists after the meeting, the National President of NED, Dr. Orgie Meca Innocent, vowed there is no going back on the strike if the government fails to meet all their demands. He lamented the infrastructural decay in the health sector and the poor funding of the sector. NEC demands an immediate increment in the consolidated medical salary structure to the tune of 200% of the current gross salary of doctors in addition to the new allowances included in the letter written by NED to the Honorable Minister of Health on July 7, 2022 for the review of this Congress because we believe that this is the first step necessary for us to begin to address the issue of brain drain in the health sector. NEC demands immediate withdrawal and the decision of the E-conceived bill by Honorable Ghaniyu Johnson on the enslavement of young doctors in Nigeria. NEC demands payment of the 2023 Medical Resilient Training Fund, in line with the agreement reached at the last stakeholders meeting convoked by the Federal Ministry of Health on February 15, 2023 at the Honorable Minister of Health Conference Room to resolve all these demands following the expiration of which on May 13, 2023 we may not be able to guarantee industrial harmony in the health sector nationwide.
