Abuja doctors may suspend strike as house intervenes
It seems like there's a developing story!
According to reports, the House of Representatives in Nigeria has intervened in the ongoing strike by doctors in Abuja, which has been causing concern among patients and the general public. The strike, which began on April 15, has seen doctors in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) refuse to attend to patients, citing poor working conditions and inadequate facilities.
In response to the crisis, the House of Representatives has promised to intervene and resolve the issue. According to sources, the House has invited the Minister of Health, the Minister of State for Health, and the FCT Minister to appear before it to discuss the matter.
The doctors, who are members of the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), have been demanding better working conditions, improved salaries, and adequate facilities. They have also been protesting the non-payment of their salaries and allowances.
If the House of Representatives is able to intervene successfully, it's possible that the strike could be suspended, and doctors in Abuja could return to work. However, the outcome is still uncertain, and it remains to be seen whether the parties involved can reach a mutually acceptable agreement.
