ABUTH resident doctors suspend five-day warning strike

The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH) branch, has suspended a five-day warning strike over the non-payment of salaries owed some members.
NARD’s vice-president Ashiru Mikail said on Tuesday in Zaria that the strike was suspended on Monday evening.
He said the resident doctors had resumed work at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday.
According to him, the strike was suspended following a marathon meeting between the association and the management of ABUTH.
“There was a serious commitment from the part of the management to address the demands of the association; the management had pledged to stop percentage salary payments to our members.
“The meeting had also charted robust initiatives to curtail further industrial disharmony between the association and ABUTH management,” he said.
The association had embarked on a five-day warning strike on July 22 to protest percentage salary payments for members on the GIFMIS platform non-payment of accoutrement allowance, among others.
