The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has suspended its nationwide strike and will resume work on Saturday.

“The government on its own set up a ministerial committee that came up with a guideline since February this year, why hasn’t that guideline been circularised?” he asked.


He accused the government of failing to meet the doctors’ demands.
