The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has suspended its two-month-old strike following the recommendations of the emergency delegates meeting, on Sunday in Abuja of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA).
ABN TV reports that the strike suspension came after the issue of a communiqué signed by NMA Secretary-General, Dr. Ekpe Philips Uche, the NMA which advised NARD to stop industrial action based on the ongoing intervention by the Association.
Other resolutions by the NMA at the meeting included; a mandate to the National Officers Committee, NOC, to ensure speedy implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding, MOU, signed with the Federal Government of Nigeria on the 21st of August, 2021 and the NOC to report back to the National Executive Council, NEC, of NMA periodically on the progress being made on the implementation of the MOU.
