The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors has declared an indefinite nationwide strike to begin at 12 00 a m on Tuesday April 7 2026. The decision followed an extraordinary NEC meeting where the body reviewed government’s handling of its long standing demands. NARD said the action became inevitable after repeated failures by the Federal Government to honour agreements and implement terms reached in earlier negotiations. The doctors accused authorities of making promises on paper without translating them into concrete improvements on the ground.

The association is also demanding improved working conditions, implementation of agreed allowances and adequate staffing to reduce excessive workload. Resident doctors say the current situation is pushing many colleagues to burnout or forcing them to leave the country, worsening brain […]

SSANIP asks FG renegotiation panel to hasten talks

The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Polytechnics has appealed to the Federal Government’s panel on the renegotiation of its agreement with unions in the polytechnic sector to speed up its work. The union said delays in concluding the process are frustrating workers and threatening the fragile peace in the system. SSANIP noted that the renegotiation of its agreement with the government has dragged on for years without clear timelines for completion. It warned that leaving key welfare issues unresolved for too long sends a wrong signal about how polytechnic workers are valued. The association urged members of the renegotiation panel to treat the process as urgent and to increase the frequency of meetings until a new agreement is reached and signed. It stressed that quick, sincere engagement will help prevent a repeat of past strikes that disrupted academic activities nationwide. […]

Toyin Alausa Decries Online Harassment, Urges Respect For The Dead

Nollywood actress Toyin Alausa has condemned the growing wave of online harassment and the widespread sharing of disturbing content on social media. She warned that the digital space is becoming increasingly toxic, with many users treating other people’s pain and private moments as entertainment.

A late night fire has destroyed a major timber market in Calabar, Cross River State, leaving traders with heavy losses. The incident occurred at the Akim timber market on Friday night, when flames suddenly spread through rows of shops and wood stores.

Jehovah’s Witnesses relax stance on use of own blood

Jehovah’s Witnesses have announced a change to their medical guidance on blood, allowing members to decide whether to use their own blood during medical procedures while keeping the long standing ban on receiving blood from others.​ The adjustment is presented as an effort to balance their religious beliefs with advances in modern medicine. It is rooted in the group’s interpretation of the Bible, which they say requires Christians to abstain from blood, but does not directly address how a person’s own blood may be used in treatment.​ Governing Body member Gerrit Lösch explained that individual choice is central to the new direction. He stated that each Christian must personally decide how their own blood will be handled during surgery, medical tests or therapy, including whether it may be stored and later returned to them.​ Lösch noted that some members may […]
