 Resident Doctors Suspend Planned Strike The Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) has suspended its planned nationwide strike, earlier scheduled to commence today Monday 12th of January 2026, Following fresh engagements with the Federal Government, The North-Central caucus of the association announced the suspension after a series of consultations with government representatives, saying the decision was taken in the interest of patients while discussions continue. The caucus leader, Dr Fanen Dogoh, however, said the suspension does not mean the issues that prompted the strike threat have been resolved. The resident doctors had planned to embark on industrial action over the continued failure of the government to honour a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) reached with the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD). Among the key demands is the immediate reinstatement of doctors sacked from the Federal Teaching Hospital (FTH), Lokoja, over alleged unauthorised protest and union...

  Max Air aircraft lose tyres during take-off roll


A Max Air aircraft departing Yola airport for Abuja yesterday evening suffered a tyre burst during take-off.


Max Air’s flight number NGL1649, a Boeing 737 with registration mark 5N-ADB, reportedly carried 119 passengers and six crew members on board.

ACCORDING TO ANOTHER SOURCE:

Max Air flight grounded as four tyres burst during takeoff


The Max Air aircraft carrying 119 passengers and six crew members, was cleared for takeoff before its first rear gear tyres burst, while the remaining two also went the way of the initial one while attempting to taxi off the aircraft from the runway.


This was contained in a statement made available to PUNCH Online by the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection of the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau, Bimbo Oladeji, at 11:22 pm on Sunday.


Olajide, however, added that no death nor injury was recorded from the development.


The statement read, “This evening, Max Air’s flight NGL1649, a Boeing 737 with registration 5N-ADB, carrying 119 passengers and six crew members, was cleared for takeoff from Yola Airport en route to Abuja.


“During the takeoff roll, a loud bang was heard, identified as the bursting of the rear gear tyres. Initially, two tyres burst. While attempting to taxi off the runway, the remaining two tyres also burst, rendering the aircraft completely disabled.


“Fortunately, no injuries were reported. A go-team, led by NSIB Director General Captain Alex Badeh Jr., will visit the incident site tomorrow morning to conduct an investigation.”


Similarly in 2023, a report by the NSIB indicted the airline of overwriting the Cockpit Voice Recorder of the serious incident which occurred on May 7, 2023, on landing at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.


The report also accused the airline of feigning ignorance of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority’s All Operators Letter (NCAA/FSG/AOL/19/03) in respect of continuous overwriting of CVR information.


This was after an aircraft belonging to the same airline departed Abuja for Yola as NGL1648.


The NSIB report said that the aircraft was on the ground in Yola for about 30 minutes before the turnaround for Abuja.


It was, however, gathered that after takeoff, the landing gear was left extended for three minutes to allow cooling due to the high temperature on the ground in Yola Airport,


but at 2:08 p.m., Nigerian Air Force personnel from the Air Force Hangar close to runway 35, reported to Yola Control Tower that an object “appearing like a tyre fell off from the departing NGL1649.”
