This is the official Twitter handle of the Association of Resident Doctors(ARD), Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex(OAUTHC), Ile-Ife.
NARD started the nationwide strike yesterday. And it was suspended the same day it started.
For a lot of people it seems like a ?waste, but those within the system know why it was needed and are hopeful about the gains.
But if you're planning to start residency in Nigeria, here's a few things to know about NARD, and why the Association matters to you.

*WELCOME TO THE NARD JANUARY NEC MEETING*
_MATTERS ARRISING_
Distinguished NARDites,
Compliments from the Leadership of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors
As we converge today on the Tin City of Jos, Plateau State, I welcome all of us with great optimism and a sense of duty.
I also wish Distinguished NEC Members and invited Guest, Dignitaries and Resource Persons safe travels and all its mercies, Ameen.
Today, 25th January 2026, marks exactly four months of this leadership of NARD in office and this January NEC is the first official business agenda of NARD.
One must reflect on the journey thus far and be nothing but proud of NARDites for their support, steadfastness and selfless sacrifices.
How far we have been able to come is a testament to our collective resolve to succeed.
We however must get down to the business of delivering for NARDites and the Nigerian Healthcare System.
1. The Lokoja 5 (+2) have been reinstated. The NEC shall review the report from NOC for ratification.
2. โ The NEC shall review the report from NOC on the level of implementation of the corrected PAT and SA and give direction.
3. โ The NEC shall review and direct matters on the two ministerial committees set up to address:
a- Locum and Workhour regulation (The NIPSS training in the last 5 days has come up with position papers)
b- Membership Certificate Recategorization
4. The NEC shall review progress on Promotion arrears payment.
5. โ The NEC shall review progress on the Salary arrears of FMC Owo, OAUTHc, UUTH Uyo, FUHSTH Otukpo.
6. โ The NEC shall review the state of payment of salary arrears owed House Officers across the country.
7. โ The NEC shall review and direct on issues affecting our colleagues at the STHI/PTHI - BSUTH
8. โ The NEC shall review and direct on matters affecting outstanding MRTF/Accoutrement/25/35% payment.
9. โ The NEC shall review the state of implementation of the entry level/skipping clarification from the OHCSF.
The NOC shall also present a series of activities lined up for this Executive and administrative year, all of which are awaiting ratification from NEC for implementation. These include:
1. NARD Welfare Policy/Endowment (we must begin to take care of our own directly from NARD sources)
2. NARD Buisness/Printing Press/Centre
3. NARD Water Bottling Company
4. โ NARD Cooperative Society
5. โ Moving the NARD Journal to PUBMED
6. โ Constitution Review
7. โ etc
The above items are the reasons this leadership was voted at the AGM in Abeokuta (2024) and inaugurated at the AGM in Katsina (2025) and we must deliver on our mandate. The January NEC is the first stomping ground for delivering these to NARDites.
I wish to ask for continued support, prayers and guidance in addition to constructive criticism geared at ensuring we all win.
LET THE NARD YEAR BEGIN and let it go to completion in fruition, Strategically and Militantly (IYKYK)
Yours P-MUS,
Dr. Mohammad Usman Suleiman
NARD President
