The Association of Resident Doctors ([ARD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_Resident_Doctors_(Nigeria))) at University College Hospital ([UCH](https://uch.edu.ng)), Ibadan, has called off its three‑day warning strike and ordered members back to duty on Thursday, Oct. 15, at 8:00 a.m.
In a memo released to members and shared with the News Agency of Nigeria ([NAN](https://nan.gov.ng)), ARD’s president Dr Uthman Adedeji and general secretary Dr Mary Awodiji signed the notice, stating that the strike concluded as per the resolutions of the Emergency General Meeting held on Oct.
8.
**What were the key demands?**
The doctors had initiated the strike on Monday, Oct. 12, citing a persistent electricity crisis and chronic water shortage affecting the College of Medicine wing of the hospital. Their demands included immediate restoration of power, repair of faulty circuit breakers, and an uninterrupted electricity supply throughout the facility.
**What timeline was set for the hospital management?**
ARD gave UCH management a seven‑day ultimatum, from Oct. 12 to Oct. 19, warning that failure to meet the demands could trigger an indefinite strike.
**What does the memo instruct members to do?**
The notice urges all resident doctors to promptly report to their respective duty posts and notes that the congress will provide updates on any further timelines in the coming days.
A representative quote from the memo reads: “Members are hereby informed that the 3‑day warning strike has been completed and work resumes today, Thursday, Oct. 15, by 8.00 a.m.”
