Doctors suspend strike, may commence full action Jan 2014

Doctors under the aegis of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) yesterday suspended its four-day warning strike, urging all its members nationwide to resume services by 8 a.m. today, Monday, December 23, 2013.

President NMA, Dr. Osahon Enabulele, said yesterday that the decision to call off of the strike “is in line with her earlier promise to give prime consideration to the Yuletide season in the prosecution of her warning strike action and to give another opportunity for the government to concretely resolve all its demands.”

The NMA President, however, threatened: “We also wish to use this opportunity to remind government that Nigerian doctors shall not hesitate to commence a full blown strike action from 8 a.m. on Monday,  January 6, 2014, if government does not satisfactorily resolve the demands of the Nigerian Medical Association. We, therefore, call on the local, state and federal levels of government to take note.”
