As the strike embarked upon by members of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors enters the second day, reports says activities have been grounded in government hospitals in Kano, Osogbo, Port Harcourt, Jalingo, Gombe, Enugu, Ibadan, Lagos and other parts of the country.
It is the third time the Resident doctors are embarking on strike in the country within the last one year.
In an interview, the National Secretary of NARD, Dr. JERRY ISOGUN denied knowledge of any new meeting between government and the striking doctors.
The Federal Government has however expressed anger over the industrial action, which began a few hours after the NARD signed an agreement with government.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr CHRIS NGIGE, in an interview, threatened that government would decide the fate of the doctors, if they refused to call off the strike before the weekend.
