Speaking at a briefing at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, today (Tuesday), the national president of the union, Dr. Obinna Ogbonna said work would resume in all Federal Government-owned hospitals across the country on Wednesday(tomorrow).
According to Ogbonna, the National Administrative Council of the union, having assessed the impact of the strike through responses from the unit branches across the nation, agreed that the strike was very effective nationwide, as it had drawn the attention of President Muhammadu Buhari.
To this end, the group agreed that the strike should be suspended.
