The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has suspended its strike with effect from Monday, June 22, 2020.

The announcement was made in a communique read to journalists by Dr. ALIYU SOKOMBA, the association’s President, on Sunday after a meeting of its National Executive Council.

The association said it took the decision to give the government time to fulfill outstanding demands following an appeal by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, FEMI GBAJABIAMILA, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, BOSS MUSTAPHA and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and other stakeholders.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Health, Dr. OSAGIE EHANIRE has reiterated the federal government’s commitment to pay the hazard allowance of the doctors.
