BREAKING: Nigerian doctors call off strike, to resume work Monday

The Nigerian Medical Association [NMA] has
suspended its 65- day old strike action.
The body's President, Kayode Obembe, told
journalists the association's delegates resolved to
suspend the industrial action in the interest of the
ongoing public health issues in the country (Ebola
outbreak).
He said all Nigerian doctors are expected to report to
work on Monday.
Mr. Obembe said the delegates also resolved among
others that the Federal Government recall all
suspended resident doctors without punitive
measures.
Over 16, 000 resident doctors where suspended by
the Federal Ministry of Health following a
presidential directive.
