Day 3! Immediate Payment of 25/35% CONMESS Upward Review Arrears. An approved entitlement should not require endless waiting.

Day 2 of 14 | NARD ULTIMATUM COUNTDOWN ​The continued withholding of outstanding Professional Allowances (PAT) arrears is unacceptable!!!!

Distinguished NARDites, Today, we begin the official countdown of the 14-day ultimatum. We will be highlighting at least one AGM demand per day. *We encourage all of us to saturate our social media accounts with the daily flyers, to complement the media engagements of our dear President, Dr. OGAR Emmanuel Idoko, POTNARD XLVI-led NOC.* Thank you. *Dr. ASHIMOM Timothy Msughter* NARD PSS 01-10-'26

🎉 *HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR DEAR P-MUS – THE STRATEGIC HELMSMAN OF NARD* 🎉 On behalf of the entire NARD NOC, E-NOC, NEC Members, the Crown Prince of NARD, and every NARDITE across the federation, *we proudly celebrate an exceptional leader, an uncommon strategist, and the indefatigable 001 of NARD—Dr. Mohammad Usman Suleiman (Garkuwan Matasan Arewa), the President of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors.* *"Great leaders do not merely occupy positions; they inspire movements, redefine possibilities, and leave footprints that time cannot erase."* Today, we celebrate a man whose name has become synonymous with vision, courage, and purposeful leadership. A leader who does not wait for opportunities to appear but creates them. *A man whose eloquence commands attention, whose intellect earns respect, and whose strategic brilliance continues to inspire confidence within and beyond the medical profession.* P-MUS is not merely leading NARD; he is writing a remarkable chapter in its history. Through resilience, wisdom, and unwavering commitment, he has transformed challenges into opportunities and given resident doctors a stronger voice on the national stage. His interventions have resonated far beyond the walls of our hospitals, making his name a familiar refrain across the media landscape and among Nigerians from every walk of life. *"Leadership is measured not by the applause that follows, but by the lives that are transformed."* Sir, over the past eleven months, your stewardship has been nothing short of extraordinary. You have championed the welfare of doctors with uncommon courage, negotiated with remarkable tact, and demonstrated that strategic leadership is built on vision, empathy, and decisive action. Little wonder many affectionately wish your tenure could continue even longer—a testament to the profound impact of your service. Beyond the boardroom and negotiation table stands a brilliant physician. *As a Senior Registrar I in Pulmonology, you continue to distinguish yourself in both clinical and interventional pulmonology,* exemplifying excellence in medicine while simultaneously steering the affairs of thousands of resident doctors with remarkable dexterity. And yes, *as a passionate Arsenal supporter, your unwavering faith in the Gunners remains as steadfast as your commitment to NARD—always ready to remind Manchester United supporters and every rival that true champions never stop believing!* As you mark another glorious year, we pray that Almighty Allah grants you enduring good health, divine protection, greater wisdom, abundant prosperity, and even higher platforms for service. May your influence continue to transcend the medical profession, and may your legacy remain a beacon for generations of leaders to come. May your days be filled with favour, your path illuminated with success, and your future adorned with greater accomplishments. *Happy Birthday, our Strategic Militant, our Cerebral Leader, our P-MUS.* *Dr. Divine Irole* *NARD VP II* *06:08:26*
