Resident doctors nationwide have called on the federal government to accede to their demands or they would embark on an indefinite strike.
The doctors gave the warning on Thursday after returning from a three-day warning strike to express their grievances at the insensitivity of the federal government to their plight and working conditions.
The National President of the Association of Resident Doctors, NARD, Dr. Jubril Abdullahi, while confirming the resumption of the doctors, said the body will meet with federal government on June 17 to resolve the issues.
He said that it was agreed that the issues in contention would be looked into and implemented as soon as possible.
“Our leaders will go back to their places and inform their members of decisions arrived at and work will resume as soon as possible,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the strike started on October1 and meetings had been held between NARD and the Federal Government with a view to resolving the issues at stake.
The doctors went on strike over the non-payment of arrears of salaries of some doctors for over four months under the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) arrangement.
Other issues in contention were the training and retraining of resident doctors and the implementation of the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS) at the Enugu State University Teaching Hospital
