The leadership of the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has called on the federal government to un-flag the accounts of some of its members across the country because of the hardships they are going through.
The body also called on the government to “pay the August salaries of doctors yet to receive their pay following the last strike action by the medical workers.”
The new national president of NARD, Dele Abdullahi Olaitan, made the call during a briefing at the 43rd AGM held in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital on Saturday.
He said: “In 2021, during the payment of the residential training fund, NARD noted erroneous payment to doctors and informed the government. The process was stopped and accounts were flagged to recoup the money back and repay the doctors.”
“But unfortunately, the accounts of some doctors that were paid rightly were not unflagged; this is despite the numerous efforts we have made,” he said.
