Doctors meet with FG, say strike may be called off today

The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has said it may call off its strike on Saturday, after meeting with Federal Government Representatives in Abuja.

The meeting, which lasted for over six hours, sought to address areas of concerns which led to the strike embarked upon by the doctors on April 1. The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, said a five-person committee has been set up to look into some of the doctors’ demands. NARD’s National President, Dr. Uyilawa Okhuaihesuyi, said the association is satisfied with the outcome of the meeting. He said the association cannot call off the strike until consultations are made with its executive council, adding that the strike may be called off on Saturday.
