WELFARE IN ACTION: NARD CONTINUES TO STAND WITH ITS OWN MEMBERS 🤝🕊️ Good afternoon distinguished NARDITES. In keeping with the pragmatic, compassionate, and necessary leadership of the current NARD administration ably led by Dr. Mohammad Usman Suleiman (P-MUS), this is to update members that, another ₦3 Million has been disbursed to the families of three (3) deceased colleagues through the NARD Welfare Trust Fund, bringing the total welfare support paid so far to ₦11.7 Million. This intervention remains a strategic welfare legacy of NARD — a commitment aimed at ensuring we care. While no amount can truly heal the pain and trauma of losing a loved one, especially a spouse, we believe that as one united NARD family, it is our responsibility to stand by one another in difficult times and extend a hand of love and support to the bereaved and those in need. The leadership of NARD remains unwavering in its commitment to prioritizing the welfare, solidarity, and wellbeing of members as a core vision of our united purpose.

I am fighting to get: 1. 25/35% outstanding arrears paid. 2. House officers Professional Allowances implemented. 3. Promotion arrears for doctors in 60 hospitals across the country over a period of 5 years paid. 4. Salary arrears in UUTH Uyo, FMC Owo, FUHSTH Otukpo, OAUTHc Ile Ife ranging from 4 months to 22 months paid. Collective Bargaining that the FG set up to renegotiate Doctors and Health Workers Salaries has been stalled So yes, Don’t ask what doctors earn monthly. Rather, ask what our politicians earn monthly. Ask if there is any elected official that is owed 20 months salary arrears. Ask why? Then ask how many Doctors left the shores of Nigeria in 2025. It was >4,500 in 2024. In fact, the question to ask is how come we still have doctors in Nigeria?
