The doctors said failure to meet the demands, NARD may not be able to guarantee industrial harmony in various hospitals across the country.
The position of NARD was contained in a communique signed by its President, Dr. Muhammad Adamu Askira; Secretary-General, Dr. Ibrahim Shettima Kuburi; and Publicity Secretary, Dr. Uhuaba Eugene Ahuruezenma.
