In an update published by The Nation, the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) says it will resume a suspended nationwide industrial action on January 12 unless key demands are fully implemented.
The association says the action plan—tagged TICS 2.0—will include service withdrawal and protests, with doctors insisting unresolved allowances, arrears, and administrative issues are undermining morale and patient care.
THISDAY also reported that NARD plans to resume TICS 2.0 nationwide from January 12, noting it will commence “at exactly 12:00 am on Monday, January 12, 2026,” while The Nation states NARD “is set to resume its suspended nationwide industrial action on January 12.”
The stakes are immediate: if both sides don’t close gaps quickly, teaching hospitals and major public facilities could see a fresh disruption in services.
