4. No empowerment: Since these people were not celebrities or no one made videos to post so everywhere quiet.
@Fmohnigeria pls empower health workers to save lives, because I no fit suck venom from person leg o.
I have lost two patients due to snake bite in the last 2 weeks.
Problems of these patients were:
1. They were taken to traditional healers who were doing what our anchors on @tvcnewsng gave as a passionate management for snake bite.
2…
3. No anti-snake venom was available in the government owned hospital. One of the pts died few minutes on arrival to the A/E so even if there was ASV, e for no help, The other one started the hunt for ASV in pharmacies in town, the relatives got but then the price even kill me.
2. Late presentation: When they arrived 3 days and 5 days post snake bite respectively, they were really bad…septic, in respiratory distress and bleeding from the markings done from the traditional healers who added their own to the snake bite protocol by @tvcnewsng
Dear NARDites,
Good Day,
RE: WORKHOUR and LOCUM REGULATION NATIONAL FRAMEWORK
I bring you compliments of the season
Distinguished NARDites,
Recall we singed in the MoU with the FG two items
1. WORK HOUR REGULATION
2. LOCUM REGULATION
These items were key in our 19-point demand.
The FMOH&SW has since set up the agreed committee to finally produce a national framework that will:-
A. Give us the first national policy regulating working hours in our hospitals.
B. Guide and eliminate obnoxious terms in Locum engagements of our members.
The above Committee has two more months to submit its report and the NARD Secretariat has since asked for submissions from esteemed members on these items via the NARD SPECIAL DUTIES COMMITTEE.
I know we have reservations about what Nigeria does with ‘committees’…
I also know we have this inherent belief that ‘the best way to kill ideas is to set up committees about it’….
However, WE ARE NARD.
We have throughout our history bulldozed such policies into existence.
The MRTA, CONMESS TABLE AND ALL ITS ADJUSTMENTS, corrected PAT, SA all come to mind.
I repeat, WE ARE NARD!!!
I make this clarion call, make submissions on these two items.
We need to push for a national policy, we need to also move it to the National Assembly and extract it into a law subsequently.
I am appealing, let us make these submissions.
I want to assure you, the NARD NOC will continue to push this to its logical end. The second Vice President and the Secretary General are representing NARD are in this Ministerial Committee.
Let us not be deterred,
Let us not be discouraged,
Let us not be dismayed,
Let me reiterate, our TICS struggle is well alive and results will continue to come in.
(2 WEEKS TO GO GAGA 😎)
Yours most insulted and abused,

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)

NARD MEDIA TEAM
RESPECT THE MESSAGE, AND NECESSARILY THE MESSENGER
NO ONE IS INFALLIBLE
Permit me to observe all possible protocol, with due respect, all due diligence and all due recognition.
Dear Distinguished and Esteemed NARDites,
Much has been said and made about the methodology the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) adopted in pressing home this current agitation in the last two months.
Much has also been made of the character, attitude, demeanor and intentions of members of NARD—From the National Officers to the National Executive Council, from the President to the Members of NARD.
These assertions range from subtle (and obvious) intimidations, misrepresentations, miscommunications, missed communications and even outright misunderstandings and misinformation. This even includes calling into question the love for our jobs, profession, patients, constituted authority and even the nation.
Harsh and unprintable names, adjectives and pronouns have been used to describe all of us under the umbrella of NARD.
However, a few facts are unyieldingly undisputed, undiluted, uncontested and undeniable.
First, the genuineness of the agitation, the injustices therein, the need to resolve them, the ‘welfarism’ nature of them and the importance of all of it in ensuring effective patient care is clear to all.
Second, the resolve of members of NARD remains unshakable, unencumbered, unstoppable and uncompromising.
Third, the chronic nature of these demands, the acute on chronic exacerbations precipitating them and the damage it has caused for the country is crystal clear.
Fourth, the seriousness of the issues, the urgency needed in ensuring they are fixed for the long term, the courage of NARDites to ensure they are fixed is not in doubt. The debate thus far has acknowledged this.
NARD is yet to see any conversation, interaction or conciliation that has taken away the above facts from the table.
This is why this message from NARDites across Nigeria is very loud and clear.
This is why this message has resonated even outside the boundaries of NARD.
The old saying "do not throw the baby away with the bath water" crystallizes another old saying of "don’t shoot the message, shoot the messenger"
Permit me to call on all our Dear and Distinguished NARDites across the country and all the opponents and proponents of this current agitation to avoid the tactic of shooting both the message and messenger.
Even if Government does it, and it has done that quite obviously, do not descend to that level.
Doing so loses the essence of the message, opens the struggle up for ridicule and allows the argument to change to ‘these boys lack respect’
Remember fellow NARDites, these agitations aren’t a ‘ward round’. Even though some would love for it to be so. It is where some want the debate to go to. It is the only way these types of people know to engage with NARD and NARDites.
I therefore call on all of us in NARD and those outside NARD that support us in our hour of need to steer clear of the temptation to answer these negative descriptions attached to NARD and it’s genuine agitation.
Dear NARDites, person wey report case to police first no mean say e go win the case, But in this case, na we report fes and na we come dey win the case.
Victory at the end, is enough. Victory at the end, should be enough. Victory at the end, must be enough without yielding to unnecessary digressions, distractions and disillusions. This will only lead to distortions, disappointments and disasters.
STEER CLEAR OF ORAL MISGIVINGS THAT FURTHER DILUTES OUR ANAEMIA
I urge us all to stay focus, hold the line.
No go sell person market oh, sell ya own market abeg. NARD Market Dey sell very well.
No one (and nothing) is infallible…Except permitted by God Almighty.
Yours ’Militantly’,
As Always,

It's important that concrete decisions are written on paper , with actions, with timelines, so that is something we can take back to NEC...
INEC members said "19 demands are minimum, otherwise strikes continues...👈🏻NARD President - MUS"
