The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has decided to halt its planned strike scheduled for January 12.

This decision was shared in a statement released on Sunday by Shuaibu Ibrahim, the secretary-general of NARD.

Previously, the association had announced the strike in an update following its emergency national executive council (E-NEC) meeting held on January 2.

NARD indicated that the strike was intended to emphasize their demands to the Federal Government.
