While meeting with the JOHESU leadership led by its chairman, Comrade Biobelemonye Joseph, Saraki pledged that the Senate would ensure that the right thing was done to end the strike.
Saraki said the Senate and indeed the National Assembly would ensure that the right thing is done to end the strike.
He noted that it is not in the interest of the country to have its hospitals closed while he pledged that the Senate would work with all stakeholders to ensure that the strike is called off.
"Our interest here in the Senate and the National Assembly in general, is to find a solution to this problem. It is not in the interest of the country for us to have our hospitals closed and we must work to ensure they are reopened promptly," Saraki said.

"I have heard your remarks, I will spend sometimes to discuss with you and get more details to see how we can put an end to this strike.
"On our own part, we will bring all parties involved together to ensure that where commitments have been made, those who made the commitments honour them.
"The only thing I can assure you is that we will make sure that the right thing is done and that this matter is resolved," he added.
