Finally, Nigerian Doctors Call Off Strike, Resume Monday

Kayode Obembe, president Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) says the association has called off its over three-month old (65 days) strike action.

Obembe confirmed to journalists that the delegates decided to suspend the industrial action because of the outbreak of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease.

He noted that their decision was influenced by the ongoing public health issues in the country.

He stated that all doctors are expected to report to work on Monday.

Obembe noted that they also agreed that the Federal Government recall all suspended resident doctors without punitive measures.
