As the strike embarked upon by the National Association of Resident Doctors entered its second day on Tuesday, medical activities have been paralysed in government-owned hospitals.

Some of the issues raised by NARD include the inconsistent payment of salaries, hazard allowances, non-payment of death benefits, and issues surrounding the registration of members on the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System. “I’m just tired, we came all the way from Ajegunle to Ikeja and it’s been a waste of time.
