The National Association of Resident Doctors, NARD, has suspended its nationwide strike.
The suspension was announced in the early hours of Thursday after a meeting of the executives of the association.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that the strike which commenced on September 4, crippled activities in public hospitals across the country.
The federal government had earlier said it had met many of the demands of the doctors, including payment of salary arrears.
Addressing journalists on the decision to suspend the strike, the Chairman of NARD, UCH, Ibadan chapter, Segun Olaopa, said “the decision was reached following appeals from the public that the doctors should give the federal government more time to meet their demands.”
Olaopa, however, said that there will be a review in two weeks time to determine how far the government had gone to honour their agreements.
