The Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) at the Federal Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital, Yaba (FNHY), has announced plans to go on a one-week warning strike starting July 7, 2025.
The strike is in response to the non-payment of salaries to newly employed doctors and deteriorating administrative conditions.
Resident doctors who have worked for five to six months have not received their salaries, sparking outrage among the medical staff. The ARD cited worsening administrative conditions as a major concern, affecting the overall work environment.
"The Congress observed with despair that the June salary window has closed without the new residents receiving their first salaries, after working for five months,” the notice read.
“It is intolerable for newly employed residents to continue working into their sixth month without being paid.”
The warning strike is set to last for one week, beginning on Monday, July 7, 2025. The strike may disrupt healthcare services at the hospital, affecting patients who rely on the facility for treatment.
The association expressed strong dissatisfaction with the situation, emphasizing the need for immediate action to address the concerns of resident doctors.
“Doctors are working under extremely difficult conditions without pay. If this persists, industrial harmony cannot be guaranteed,” the association warned.
The ARD may engage in further negotiations with hospital management or relevant authorities to resolve the issues before the strike commences.
