The National President of the Nigerian Medical Association, Dr. Osahon
Enabulele in a statement in Lagos on Sunday directed all members of
the association working in the public sector to resume work on Monday
in their various hospitals across the nation.
Doctors in public health institutions had embarked on a five- day
nationwide strike last week to protest acts of injustices against
their members and underfunding of the sector.
Enabulele stated that the five day warning strike was suspended in the
spirit of the upcoming yuletide and also to give government time to
resolve its demands.
He, however, noted that doctors would embark on an indefinite strike
by January 6, 2013, if government fails to fulfill its demands.
Enabulele stated," We call on all Nigerian doctors in the public
health sector to resume full services with effect from 8am on Monday
23rdDecember, 2013.
"We also wish to use this opportunity to remind government that
Nigerian doctors shall not hesitate to commence a full blown strike
action from 8am on Monday, 6thJanuary 2014, if government does not
satisfactorily resolve the demands of the Nigerian Medical
Association. We therefore call on the Local, State and Federal levels
of Government to take note of this notice."
While thanking Nigerians for the solidarity,the association called on
well-meaning Nigerians to assist in the resolution of the demands of
the NMA.
The FG had better meet the demands of the doctors cos their importance cannot be underrated
