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.
