Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Association of Resident Doctors, University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, ARD-UITH, on Friday embarked on a five-day warning strike as part of a coordinated nationwide effort to advocate for improved conditions in the health sector.<\/p>\n

The president of ARD-UITH, Dr Mariam Shiru, while addressing journalists in Ilorin, said the action aligned with ongoing efforts by the national body to engage the Federal Government.<\/p>\n

Shiru pointed out that those efforts focused on addressing long-standing issues affecting resident doctors across the country.<\/p>\n

She acknowledged the government\u2019s previous engagements, including several meetings and the inauguration of a committee, but noted that progress had been limited.<\/p>\n

\u201cOut of seven months of outstanding arrears, two have been settled, although disbursements have been inconsistent across centres.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not about new allowances but long-standing entitlements. While the government has indicated that funds are available, the implementation has been slow,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The ARD-UITH president also stressed the importance of timely action to retain medical professionals in the country and reduce the ongoing brain drain.<\/p>\n

The Association said many resident doctors are still awaiting payment of their 2025 Medical Residency Training Fund.<\/p>\n
