Invoking the Principle of the Presidential Prerogative of Mercy, President Bola Tinubu has approved the waiver of the “No Work, No Pay” Order that was instituted against striking members of the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) on August 1, 2023, following the commencement of their industrial action which began on July 26, 2023.

 

 

 

 

After several constructive engagements between the Federal Government and NARD, the Resident Doctors called off their strike on August 12, 2023. The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation was directed to withhold all salaries accrued by striking NARD members during the 17 days of their strike action.

In view of the faithful implementation of terms which were agreed upon during the fruitful deliberations between the Resident Doctors and the Federal Government of Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu has directed the grant of an exceptional last waiver of the “No Work, No Pay” Order on Resident Doctors, which will allow for the members of the NARD to receive the salaries which were previously withheld during the 17-day strike action.

The President has directed the grant of the waiver with a mandatory requirement that the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare and the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment must secure a Document of Understanding (DoU) establishing that this exceptional waiver granted by the President will be the last one to be granted to the National Association of Resident Doctors and all other Health Sector Unions.

Freedom At Last : Apeke Dynasty Foundation Secured The Release of Female Inmate in Prison

Apeke Dynasty Foundation went on an outreach program to kirikiri Correctional Facility as part of her ongoing mission to promote humanitarian service, health support, and social reintegration for underserved individuals.

The team began with a comprehensive medical outreach for inmates. The activities included:
—Health checkups and consultations.
—Distribution of essential medications.
—Personal health counseling and education.

This initiative was aimed at addressing immediate medical concerns and ensuring better hygiene and health awareness among the inmates.

After the medical sessions, the foundation team engaged with several inmates, listened to their stories, and offered words of encouragement. Notably:
-We met a female inmate whose case was brought to our attention by another individual with a more severe case.
-Upon calling her for clarification, she narrated her ordeal; a minor civil misunderstanding involving a misplaced phone and missing money, which led to her incarceration.

Moved by the circumstances of the female inmate, the Foundation took the following steps:
—Contacted a lawyer associated with the case.
—Held a constructive conversation with him to understand the legal steps already taken and those required to secure her release.
—The lawyer agreed to handle the matter pro bono, a gesture we deeply appreciated.
we followed up with the legal process by visiting the court and ensuring all necessary documents and payments were handled swiftly.
Thanks to the swift collaboration between the Foundation, the legal representative, and correctional authorities:
—The female inmate was discharged from custody.
—She has since reunited with her family.
—The Foundation also showed appreciation to the lawyer for offering his services free of charge.

Apeke Dynasty Foundation expresses heartfelt gratitude to:
—The entire outreach team for their selfless service.
—The volunteer medical professionals.
—The legal personnel who supported the cause.
—All donors and supporters who made the outreach possible.

This intervention reflects the core values of the Apeke Dynasty Foundation : compassion, justice, and empowerment. We remain committed to restoring dignity to the underserved and will continue to extend our reach to those who need hope the most.
