The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) is set to resume its suspended nationwide industrial action on January 12.

The body warned that its members will return to full-scale protests and service withdrawal if the Federal Government does not fully implement its longstanding demands.

The decision followed an expanded National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held on Friday, January 2,  after which members were briefed via the association’s official X platform, where the President, Dr Muhammad Suleiman, addressed medical and dental trainees and signed off on behalf of the National Officers Committee (NOC).

In the update, the president unveiled a renewed action plan tagged TICS two point zero with the slogan “No Implementation, No Going Back.”

According to the resolution, NARD will resume TICS two point zero at exactly 12.00 a.m. on Monday, January 12, 2026, unless its minimum demands are fully met.
