The National Association of Resident Doctors NARD, has suspended its Nationwide strike.
The suspension will take effect on Monday 22 June.
The doctors had commenced strike on 15th June over the Federal Government’s inability to pay them their COVID19 Frontline allowance including other payments.
However, the union has now announced that the strike has been suspended less than one week after it began.
NARD made the announcement in a communique read to journalists by its President, Dr. Aliyu Sokomba, on Sunday, June 21, in Abuja after its National Executive Council meeting attended by over 300 members.
The organisation said it took the decision in order to enable the government time to fulfill outstanding demands following an appeal by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and other stakeholders.
