Following the suspension of strike by resident doctors, normal activities have resumed at the University College Hospital, UCH, Ibadan.

Our correspondent reports that patients were being attended to.

Two relatives of patients Mr Adebayo Akinade and Mrs Bolu Adeshina noted that if the present Government can keep attending to issues urgently, there would be no need for strike actions in the country.

The relatives said it would be a great thing if mass exodus of doctors can be stopped to avoid losing good hands in the country. 

The president of NARD, Emeka Orji, had on earlier said the association decided to suspend the strike due to significant moves by the federal government to address its demands.

NARD had on July 26 this year declared a “total and indefinite strike action” following failure of Federal Government to meet their demands which included the immediate payment of the 2023 MRTF, the immediate release of the circular on one-for-one replacement, and the payment of skipping arrears.

However, the Association eventually called off the industrial action on 11 August, 2023.
