The resident doctors, however, assured Nigerians that their action was not meant to hurt them.
This was confirmed by ODUDUWA NEWS via the association’s Twitter handle this morning .
According to their message they said , “Nigerians must understand that we love them and the strike is not intended to hurt them but to challenge the Nigerian government @MBuhari @Fmohnigeria @LabourMinNG whose responsibilities amongst others is to care for her citizens and labour force to do the needful.”
The union’s President, Dr Uyilawa Okhuaihesuyi, also confirmed to Channels TV that the strike had commenced by 8am Thursday.
The strike is happening at a time when the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), is in London for medical check-up.
