Resident Doctors of  Chukwuemeka Odemegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospita,  Set to Join Nationwide Strike.


The Association of Resident Doctors, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital (ARD-COOUTH) Branch says it will comply fully with the strike directed by the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD).


ARD-COOUTH declared it’s position in a communiqué issued after an Emergency General Meeting (EGM) held to deliberate on the proposed total, indefinite and comprehensive strike by the national leadership.


The communiqué signed by Dr Joy Okwumuo and Dr Albert Okoye, President and Secretary of ARD-COOUTH was made available to journalists in Awka on Saturday.


NARD had in November 2025 suspended its nationwide strike after 19 days following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Federal Government.


ARD-COOUTH said it had resolved to comply fully with the NARD directive for members to down tools when it resumed the industrial action on Jan.12 2026 over unpaid salary arrears, allowances, unresolved welfare and career progression-concerns.


The doctors appealed to members to remain steadfast, united, and resolute throughout the period of industrial action.


“After extensive deliberations, Congress unanimously resolved to fully comply with and join the nationwide strike action in solidarity with NARD, standing together as one united union, it said.


.ARD-COOUTH said the resumed strike would also be used to draw the attention of management to demands which were internal to them including substandard or absent call rooms lacking basic amenities and appropriate infrastructure.


The doctors also lamented the living conditions of house officers in the House Officers’ Quarters, who lack regular electricity, water supply and standard call-duty meals.


The said the hospital lacked adequate manpower, resulting in excessive workload for doctors as well as lack of consultants in several subspecialties, which had disrupted residency training.
