Striking medical doctors in Lagos State, on Wednesday, agreed to suspend their three-day warning strike which they embarked upon last Monday.
They also agreed to resume work at their respective duty posts in various hospitals in the state effective Thursday.
A statement by the Chairman, Medical Guild Representative Council, Dr Oluwajimi Sodipo, announced this.
Sodipo said the doctors agreed to call off the strike after they held a virtual meeting with stakeholders, including Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu; and Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akinolu, among others.
He said the doctors observed “positive change in attitude” amongst relevant government agencies.
According to the doctors’ resolutions, “The three days warning strike should be suspended and work resume by 8am on Thursday 16th July, 2020.
“The officers committee should continue to engage relevant government agencies on all the issues that precipitated the strike action.
“The officers committee should call for congress to update on the progress of negotiations.
“The government should demonstrate sincerity and commitment during the negotiation in order to avert unnecessary and preventable crisis in the health sector of Lagos state.”
