Resident Doctors |
The Nigerian Association of Resident
Doctors (NARD) has suspended its industrial action in response to
appeals from the federal government for more time to meet its demands.
The decision was taken at the meeting of
NARD’s National Executive Council (NEC) in Abuja. The meeting lasted
from late night on Wednesday to the early hours of Thursday morning
through which it appraised the implementation of its agreement with the
government.
The association, which had embarked on a
nationwide indefinite strike to press home it’s six-point demand, had
on September 6 laid out
its terms of settlement with the federal
government after the two parties met to resolve the crisis.
Addressing journalists on its decision
after the NEC meeting, the Chairman of NARD, UCH Ibadan chapter, Segun
Olaopa, said the union suspended its 10-day-old strike for two weeks to
monitor the level of federal government’s compliance with the agreement
reached.
According to Olaopa, the two weeks
period is to afford the doctors enough time to further discuss with the
federal government to arrive at final solutions to the contentious
issues.
