National industrial court halts resident doctors' planned strike

Kiswahili

A National Industrial Court of Nigeria in Abuja has issued an interim injunction to stop the planned strike by the Nigeria Association of Resident Doctors.

The National Industrial Court of Nigeria, sitting in Abuja, has granted an interim injunction that restrains the Nigeria Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) from proceeding with its planned strike action.

This decision comes amid ongoing concerns in the healthcare sector, where resident doctors have been advocating for better working conditions. The court's order aims to prevent disruption to medical services across the country.

No further details on the duration of the injunction or the specific grievances leading to the strike plans were immediately available from the ruling. The development was reported on January 9, 2026.
