The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors on Sunday directed its members to resume work on Monday after embarking on a seven-day nationwide warning strike over the abduction of their colleague, Dr Ganiyat Popoola.
It would be recalled that Popoola was kidnapped eight months ago.
The NARD President, Dele Abdullahi, while speaking to newsmen said the association will review the Federal Government’s commitment to resolving its demand in the next three weeks.
In his words, “We are suspending the strike now. We will be meeting to review the progress the government has made in the next three weeks.
“We are resuming on Monday, September 2, 2024, at 8 am. The engagement of the government has been a little bit better. But, we are hopeful that they will sustain this current line of action.”
Recall, NARD began a seven-day warning strike last week Monday to press for the rescue of a registrar in the Department of Ophthalmology at the National Eye Centre, Kaduna, Popoola who was abducted along with her husband and nephew.
Her husband was released in March, but the doctor and her nephew remain in captivity.
The Federal Government, on Thursday, said it would invoke the ‘no work, no pay’ policy for the striking resident doctors.
But the doctors said they were unmoved by the threat.
