NARD faults FG’s claims on doctors’ welfare, says “facts must replace fiction”

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has faulted the recent statement by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare titled “FG Reaffirms Commitment to Doctors’ Welfare and Industrial Harmony in the Health Sector,” describing it as misleading and disconnected from the realities faced by medical professionals across Nigeria.

 Morocco Protests: “We Want Hospitals, Not Stadiums”

A youth-led protest movement is sweeping Morocco, challenging the government's plan to build the world's largest stadium for the 2030 FIFA World Cup. Demonstrators argue the massive investment should be directed toward fixing the country's struggling public services instead.

The protests were sparked by a tragic incident where eight women died in an ill-equipped maternity ward, highlighting systemic failures in the healthcare system.

Police have made over 400 arrests, and three protester deaths have been reported following violent clashes. While many Moroccans are proud to host the World Cup, protesters feel the priorities are wrong. As one 25-year-old demonstrator stated, "We love football... but we […]
