The association in a statement by its president and secretary general, Dr Okocha Innocent and Dr Agbele Omovigho respectively, explained that the suspension of the strike became imperative following the intervention of the state governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa and others.
The doctors stated that it has decided to suspend the strike so as to give room for deliberations as well as implementation of outstanding issues regarding the strike.
According to the resolutions of the association, “they expect that the implementation of the corrected CONMESS for resident doctors and payment of the arrears be completed before the end of November, 2015.
“That a written commitment and circularzation of skipping of grade level for doctors be completed on or before end of November, 2015 with the eventual aim of commencement of payment of skipping allowances in January, 2016.
“Failure of management/government to address all outstanding issues will lead the association to two the inevitable line of recommencement of the suspended strike action,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, a visit to the hospital on Thursday morning by Vanguard reveals that medical activities are gradually gaining momentum following the resumption of the doctors back to their duty posts.
