05 Apr FG to reopen talks with striking resident doctors
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has said the Federal Government will soon engage the leadership of the striking National Association of Resident Doctors in a fresh talk with a view to ending the ongoing strike.
He said the purpose of the fresh talk would be for the striking resident doctors to explain to the government team the aspects of the memorandum of action they signed on Thursday which they did not agree with.
Ngige spoke in a telephone interview with Punch.
He said, “We have not reached there (no-work-no-pay option). I said so earlier.
“We are going to have a formal meeting with them so that they will let us know the areas of the memorandum of action they signed that they do not agree with.
“The meeting will hold next week. Immediately work resumes, we will contact them and invite them to the meeting.”
Ngige, however, said there was the need for the strike to end.
