RESIDENT DOCTORS TO SHIFT PLANNED NATIONWIDE STRIKE

The National Association of Resident
Doctors of Nigeria has shifted its
planned nationwide strike by two
weeks.
The strike that was to commence on
April 25 will now begin on May 9.
The National President of the
association, Dr Muhammad Askira,
made the disclosure while addressing a
news conference in Kano on Sunday.
Askira said the decision to shift the
date of the strike was taken after the
extraordinary meeting of the National
Executive Council of the association
held on April 26 in Sokoto.
He said after deliberations on the
progress made so far, the NEC decided
to shift the strike by two weeks.
According to him, the decision to shift
the strike followed the prompt
intervention of President Muhammadu
Buhari during a meeting with NMA
National leadership as contained in a
statement released by his SSA on
media.
Askira said the NEC decision followed
the genuine efforts and commitment
by the Minister of Health and his
management team as well as the
intervention of the National Assembly
to ensure amicable resolution of the
dispute.
“The NEC had also resolved to direct
our branches in Osun, specifically
LAUTECH Teaching Hospital Osogbo, to
immediately suspend the seven month
old strike.
“This is to enable the implementation
of the agreement reached with the
Government of Osun on April 15 in
Osogbo.
The national president, however,
urged the Federal Government to
ensure that all their demands were
met as agreed during the negotiation
meeting on April 11 to avoid industrial
action.
“We hope the Government will meet our
demands before the expiration of the
deadline so that the strike will be
averted in the interest of the
Country,” he said.
