The strike will be suspended till the association holds another meeting on July 14.
The suspension comes after the federal government ordered the chief medical directors and medical directors of federal tertiary hospitals to fill the vacancies created by resident doctors who had “abandoned” their training programme by refusing to report for work.
The order was given by Health Minister, Isaac Adewole and was contained in a circular signed by the permanent secretary of the Federal Ministry of Health, Amina Shamaki.
