The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has asked the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) to suspend its planned strike because the current administration is yet to settle down.
The speaker stated this on Monday during a meeting with the doctors at the National Assembly Complex in Abuja.
“In this regard, therefore, we urge you to appeal to your members to be patient while we find an amicable resolution. Given your faith in us, I would urge you to suspend the impending industrial action while we intervene.
“We equally seek your understanding of the fact that a new administration just came on board and is still in the process of settling down as ministers are yet to assume office,” he said.
Abbas promised the aggrieved doctors that the issues raised by them would be addressed.
The meeting was later moved to a closed-door session.
