The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has suspended the nationwide industrial action.
The nationwide strike which started on September 7, 2020, was in protest over the non-implementation of residency funding, COVID-19 allowance, hazard allowance as well as the outstanding salary shortfall of 2014, 2015 and 2016.
NARD President, Dr. Aliyu Sokonda said: “Following our meeting yesterday with the government, we had a National Executive Council meeting and resolved to suspend our strike to give government time to address our demands. So the strike is suspended for two weeks.”
On Wednesday, the Federal Government and the doctors reached an agreement in a bid to end the industrial action.
