The strike action by doctors in Ogun State has been suspended for two weeks, the Association of Resident Doctors Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (ARD, OOUTH) has said.
The doctors said that the hold back on its two-month-old strike action was to allow for parties reach an agreement after negotiation as requested by the Speaker of the State’s House of Assembly during his intervention on the issue, the Nation reported.
“Since the government was willing to take up the responsibility expected of a considerate, sincere and truthful administration without shirking, we have decided to reconsider our stand,” Popoola Abiodun, the President of the ARD, OOUTH stated and revealed that full clinical services will resume from Sept. 7.
“We hope that the discussion and the promises made will be a presage of good things to come. As a figure of sterling grandeur, it is our hope that the Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun will shut humaneness and justice without any political ruse.
“We as medical professionals are concerned about the health of our people in Ogun state and it is in this light we have decided to toe the line of empathy and therefore, render our service to the people,” he said.
