Let the directive reversing PAT implementation be reversed and status quo ante maintained in April Salary. With that, FG would’ve given the NARD NOC the impetus to reconvene NEC.
It is the only sure way to avert Tuesday 7th, April2026.
@Medzonetv@ezelvis70 HOs have the right to be NARD members. They may not be allowed to go on strike ( which isn't exactly a privilege but a necessity if the situation demands it). They have the responsibility to pay their dues. Emotional arguments won't cut it.
@Medzonetv@Dhekunlay NMA is the union responsible. Channel your grievance appropriately.
I am happy NARD is helping. However, it is not NARDs responsibility.
@SaintsShalom@mohagirei May be they should pay dues also.
May bebthey should crybfor help from NMA that takes their dues through APL fees.
NARD still fights for them despite not paying dues. This you should not forget.
UPDATE TO MEMBERS
Good evening distinguished NARDITES.
Earlier today, the President of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), Dr. Mohammad Usman Suleiman, alongside the Secretary-General, Dr Shuaibu Ibrahim paid a strategic visit to the Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, to engage on critical welfare and financial issues affecting our members nationwide.
The discussions were frank, productive, and focused on matters of immediate importance to resident doctors. Key highlights include:
1. Promotion and Salary Arrears:
The Honourable Minister acknowledged the concerns raised by NARD regarding outstanding promotion and salary arrears. He appealed to the Association to allow a few more weeks for the Ministry to finalize and communicate a clear payment schedule for the affected members.
2. 2026 MRTF:
The NARD leadership also engaged the Minister on the timely disbursement of the 2026 MRTF. Assurances were given, and that efforts are underway to ensure early release of the fund, while minimizing the bureaucratic bottlenecks that have previously delayed payments.
3. Payment of 18-Month PAT Arrears:
The issue of the 18-month PAT arrears was equally discussed extensively. The NARD leadership reiterated the need for these arrears to be fully captured in the 2026 national budget, with a clear commitment towards prompt disbursement to all members.
The leadership of NARD, under the Strategic Militant – P-MUS, remains steadfast and proactive in engaging relevant government authorities to ensure that all financial entitlements and welfare packages due to our members are secured and paid without unnecessary delays.
We appreciate your continued patience, solidarity, and unwavering support as we continue to advance the collective interest of resident doctors across the country.
Please accept the assurances of our highest regards.

While we await the resumption letters for the remaining two (2) colleagues, we remain optimistic and confident that their letters will also be ready in the shortest possible time.
We will continue our own part to ensure they are also back at work.
We extend our deep appreciation to the entire NOC, E-NOC, NEC Members, the Crown Prince of NARD, and all NARDITES for their unwavering support, solidarity, and collective advocacy throughout this process.

WELCOME NOTE 🗣️
Good evening distinguished NARDITES,
With immense joy and pride, I warmly welcome our revered NOC, E-NOC, NEC Members, the Crown Prince of NARD, and all indefatigable NARD leaders to the breathtaking, calm, and soul-refreshing atmosphere of the Home of Peace and Tourism. Jos is alive, the air is cool, the spirit is high—and the stage is perfectly set for an exhilarating, mind-opening, and purpose-driven Leadership Training on Effective Policy and Strategic Leadership.
This is not just another gathering; it is a movement of minds and mission. A carefully curated retreat designed to ignite vision, sharpen strategic thinking, and mold today’s leaders into tomorrow’s policy shapers and health-sector game changers. Every session promises depth, clarity, and inspiration—leaving participants refined, re-energized, and fully equipped to influence policy, leadership direction, and advocacy within and beyond the health space.
As we count down to the January NEC Meeting, commencing this Sunday immediately after the retreat, anticipation continues to build. Expectations are high, momentum is strong, and the atmosphere is already charged for robust deliberations, frank engagements, and transformative resolutions that will further strengthen the soul and structure of NARD.
I passionately urge all NARDITES across the length and breadth of our great country to plug in, stay engaged, and actively follow the flow of activities. This is a defining moment—miss nothing, because every step counts in shaping the future we all desire for our association.
To our leaders and comrades who are already on the road, or preparing to journey to Jos for the NEC meeting, I wish you journey mercies, peace of mind, and a joy-filled, memorable stay in this beautiful city that effortlessly blends serenity with inspiration.
The fire is lit, the vision is clear, and the journey continues.
Together, we rise, we lead, and we deliver.
Yours militantly,
P-MUS of NARD
