In an update published by Channels TV, the Nigeria Association of Resident Doctors warned it could resume an indefinite strike, stating the action would begin “from 12:00 a.m. on Monday, January 12, 2026” if demands remain unmet.
The warning points to breakdowns in implementation timelines, which often drive recurring strike cycles more than negotiation meetings.
A renewed shutdown would hit emergency services and elective care in teaching hospitals already under strain.
The Nation echoed the branding with “No Implementation, No Going Back,” while RipplesNG also reported the restart plan tied to “January 12, 2026.”
Echotitbits take: Watch for agreements with dated milestones—not just talks. Implementation calendars are the difference between peace and shutdown.
