The Federal Government of Nigeria has committed to releasing N11.995 billion within 72 hours to settle outstanding arrears for doctors and other health workers amid a nationwide strike. This follows a high-level meeting with the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), which began an indefinite strike on Saturday over unpaid salaries and welfare issues. The pledge includes payments for accoutrement allowances and builds on recent disbursements totaling over N40 billion.
Medical unions announced on Monday that they will call an indefinite strike after the summer due to the lack of proposals from the Ministry of Health.

حظرت هيئة بيئة العمل السويدية على مقاطعة دالارنا السماح للأطباء بالعمل لساعات إضافية تتجاوز ما يسمح به القانون. جاء هذا القرار في أعقاب تسجيل أكثر من 1000 ساعة عمل إضافية غير مصرح بها خلال فترة تزيد قليلاً عن ثلاثة أشهر.
The Nigerian Medical Association's Lagos branch has voiced support for the nationwide strike by resident doctors, now in its sixth day across 91 hospitals. The action, declared by the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors on November 1, 2025, stems from unmet welfare demands. Only two of the group's 19 demands are receiving attention, according to NARD.

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (Nard) is convening an emergency National Executive Council meeting on October 25, 2025, to assess the Federal Government's response to its 30-day ultimatum. With only days left before the deadline, the association warns of potential action if demands remain unmet. The virtual gathering underscores ongoing concerns over doctors' welfare and the health sector's brain drain.
