The 2021 Nigerian doctors strike was a labour strike involving doctors organised under the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD). The strike began on 2 August and was suspended by court order on 23 August. The strike, one of four to have involved NARD since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, was caused by pay disputes between the union and the Federal government of Nigeria, with the union alleging that the government had reneged on an agreement that they had reached following the end of the last strike in April. Following this, the union (which represents approximately 40 percent of doctors in the country) went on strike. A hearing before the National Industrial Court of Nigeria is scheduled for 15 September.
