The National Association of Resident Doctors {NARD} has announced the suspension of its Nationwide strike which was slated to start tomorrow, Monday, June 22, 2020. 
The warning strike by the NARD commenced on Monday, June 15, after the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum. The Union kick-started the warning strike after engaging a series of meetings with the FG that continual hit a dead end.
However, the Union has now announced that the strike has been suspended less than a week of it starting.
NARD made the announcement in a communique read to journalists by its President, Dr. Aliyu Sokomba, on Sunday, June 21, in Abuja after its National Executive Council meeting attended by over 300 members.
The organisation said it took the decision in order to enable the government time to fulfil outstanding demands following an appeal by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and other stakeholders.
