Calm returned to hospitals nationwide after the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors suspended its planned strike, easing fears of disrupted healthcare services. Patients and staff in several hospitals welcomed the decision, with many expressing relief at the last-minute resolution.
Medical services largely continued across facilities, though some outpatient care saw brief interruptions. The strike had been planned over unpaid salaries, allowances, and welfare concerns affecting doctors.
Following talks involving Kashim Shettima and Ali Pate, the union paused the action and gave the government a two-week deadline to address its demands.
