In a statement issued after its Ordinary General Meeting in Lokoja, which was signed by its Chairman, Dr. Godwin Tijani, the association said the decision to suspend the strike was unanimously taken to honour the Kogi paramount ruler, Attah Igala, and other imminent stakeholders, for their intervention.
The strike would be suspended for two weeks to enable prominent personalities and stakeholders, mediate, after which the medical association will reconvene in two weeks to decide on the way forward if no positive progress is made.
Reacting to this development, Kogi state Government through its Commissioner for Health, Dr Saka Audu, is commending the Kogi chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association for suspending the 10-day old strike, to give room for dialogue with the state government.
He also promised that the state government would fulfill its obligation to the association as earlier planned before the strike.
