“During the strike, there will be no concessions, and there will be no emergency care.”
Popoola, a registrar in the Department of Ophthalmology at the National Eye Centre, Kaduna, was abducted on December 27, 2023, along with her husband and nephew.
While her husband was released in March, Popoola and her nephew remain in captivity.
Members of NARD had protested in all tertiary hospitals across the nation to demand Dr Popoola’s release.
