A planned strike by the National Association of Resident Doctors, which is set to begin on January 12, has been halted by the National Industrial Court of Nigeria in Abuja.
The order was given by Justice Emmanuel Subilim on Friday after the Federal Government, through the Attorney General of the Federation, approached the court with an emergency request.
The case is listed as NICN/ABJ/06/2026.
The judge made the ruling after hearing arguments from the Director of Civil Litigation at the Federal Ministry of Justice, Mrs. Maimuna Lami Shiru, who appeared in court with a team of government lawyers.
They asked the court to prevent the strike from taking place while the main case is being considered.
Those named in the suit include the National Association of Resident Doctors, its National President, Dr. Mohammad Usman Suleman, and the Secretary General of the association, Dr. Shuaibu Ibrahim.
The court order means resident doctors are not allowed to begin the planned strike on January 12 until the matter is fully heard and decided by the court.
