Published

Speaker of the House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen has slated Thursday to, again, meet with relevant stakeholders over the crisis between the Federal Government and the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD).

The Majority Leader of the House, Prof Julius Ihonvbere made the disclosure at Wednesday plenary presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu.

The meeting will be coming after Abbas met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday, in fulfilment of his promise to NARD earlier on Monday, as part of the efforts of the House to resolve the crisis.

At the plenary, the leadership of the House expressed displeasure with NARD’s decision to continue with its planned strike despite the intervention by the Parliament.

A member of the House, Hon. Unyime Idem, during the plenary, attempted to move a motion of urgent public importance on the strike declared by NARD on Tuesday night.

The immediate past Deputy Speaker, Hon. Ahmed Wase, however, raised a point of order to note that the Speaker was already working on the matter.
