The National Association of
Resident Doctors (NARD) has announced the suspension of its strike after 10
days.
It, however, said it will review
the suspended industrial action in two weeks’ time to assess government’s level
of compliance with the agreements reached with the association.
This was disclosed by the NARD
Chairman, Ibadan chapter, Segun Olaopa on behalf of the National Executives of
the association in the early hours of Thursday after a crucial meeting.
He said “the decision was reached
following appeals from the public that the doctors should give the federal
government more time to meet their demands.
“There will be a review in two
weeks’ time to determine how far the government had gone to honour our
agreements.
Recall that Arikawe Adeolu, the
General Secretary of NARD, Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Jabi, Abuja, said the
outcome of the national executives meeting would determine whether the
nationwide indefinite strike would be called off or not.
The strike by the doctors, which
commenced on September 4, crippled activities in public hospitals across
Nigeria.
The federal government had
earlier said it had met many of the demands of the doctors, including payment
of salary arrears.
