Nigeria: Uch Resident Doctors Suspend Warning Strike

[Vanguard] The Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, has suspended its three-day warning strike and directed members to resume duty on Thursday.

The Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) at University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, has ended its three-day warning strike and ordered its members to return to duty on Thursday. The ARD president, Dr Uthman Adedeji, and general secretary, Dr Mary Awodiji, jointly signed the memo announcing the suspension. The strike began on Monday due to ongoing electricity issues and water scarcity at the College of Medicine section of the hospital.

ARD demanded immediate restoration of electricity, repair of faulty circuit breakers, and stable power supply throughout the hospital. If the demands were not met by October 19, the association threatened an indefinite strike.
