Sarki, I met my wife when she was just a medical student with nothing but big dreams and an unwavering determination to become a doctor. I stayed by her side through the sleepless nights, endless exams, clinical postings, house job, and NYSC. We got married while she was a Medical officer, and today she’s a Junior resident in Internal Medicine, working tirelessly toward becoming a senior resident next year inshallah. Before we got married, people warned me. “Don’t marry a doctor.” “She’ll never have time for you.” “You’ll be lonely.” “Your children will be raised by housemaids.” “Her career will always come before her family.” Wallahi, every single one of those predictions has been proven wrong. Since the day we got married, I have never felt neglected not for one day. I have never had to compete with her career for her love. Despite the exhausting calls, emergency shifts, sleepless nights, and the emotional weight that comes with saving lives, she still comes home and gives her best to us. She is an amazing doctor to her patients, an incredible mother to our daughter, and the most loving wife I could ever ask for. She makes our house feel like a home. She never makes me feel like I’m carrying this marriage alone, I’ve always encouraged her to fly higher. The problem has never been working women. The problem is most people assuming that every successful working woman will neglect her home. My wife is living proof that a woman can wear a white coat all day, save lives, chase her dreams, and still come home to love her husband and children with her whole heart. If I had to choose a wife a thousand times over, I would still choose her every single time.

URGENT APPEAL TO AVERT A LOOMING NATIONWIDE NARD STRIKE (TICS 2.0) Dear Esteemed Leaders and Respected Elders of the Medical Profession, I write to you at a critical moment for Nigeria’s health sector and the medical profession. As revered elders, past and present leaders, and custodians of the values that have long sustained our noble calling, your voices carry unmatched moral authority and national weight. The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) stands on the brink of another nationwide industrial action— Total and Indefinite Comprehensive Strike TICS 2.0 triggered by the failure of the Federal Ministry of Health and the Federal Government to honour the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) freely entered into with NARD. This development is deeply distressing, not only because of its implications for healthcare delivery, but because it represents a breakdown of trust, sincerity, and good faith in government–professional relations. For clarity, the sequence of events over the past few months underscores NARD’s patience and restraint: • Following the suspension of the warning strike, NARD issued a two-week ultimatum, which elapsed without any meaningful response from the FMOH or the Federal Government in the last AGM. • This ultimatum was subsequently extended by 30 days as a form of goodwill, again without response. • A further seven-day extension was granted, still without response. • Consequently, TICS 1.0 commenced, prompting limited engagement that culminated in the signing of an MoU with clear timelines. Today marks the 31st day after the signing of the MoU, yet there has been no visible or substantive progress on its implementation. In this context, it is only fair to state that resident doctors should not be blamed if industrial action resumes, having repeatedly demonstrated patience while government obligations remain unmet. It is important to emphasise that NARD has shown uncommon restraint and patriotism. Strikes were suspended, timelines were extended, and multiple conciliatory meetings were honoured, all in the hope that commitments made by the government would translate into concrete action. Regrettably, most of these commitments remain unfulfilled, while agreed deadlines have been ignored without explanation. Distinguished elders, resident doctors form the backbone of service delivery in Nigeria’s tertiary hospitals. They are overworked, continue to experience breakdowns, and are increasingly demoralised. When agreements addressing our welfare endorsed by the Federal Government are treated with levity, it sends a dangerous signal that sacrifice, dialogue, and professionalism no longer count. We therefore humbly but urgently appeal to you to prevail on the Federal Ministry of Health, and by extension the Federal Government, to take immediate and visible steps to honour the MoU with NARD. Your timely intervention can still avert this looming crisis, restore confidence, and prevent yet another avoidable disruption to healthcare services across the country. History has shown that when respected medical elders speak, governments listen. This is one of those defining moments where your intervention can preserve industrial harmony, safeguard patients’ lives, and protect the integrity of our profession. Nigeria’s patients, our colleagues, and the future of the nation’s health system are counting on you. Yours faithfully, SHUAIBU IBRAHIM Secretary General Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD)
