The Association of Medical and Dental Officers (AMDO), Oyo State chapter, has suspended its industrial action and resumed duty.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the doctors, who had not been working since Oct. 26, returned to their duty posts on Monday.
NAN reports that the doctors at Ring Road State Hospital, Government Chest Hospital, Jericho Specialist Hospital, and Oni Memorial Children Hospital, among others, have all resumed.
The resumption followed the suspension of the one-week industrial action embarked upon by the association.
NAN recalls that the association had embarked on the strike over demands including improved welfare package for members, payment of outstanding allowances, and recruitment of more medical officers, among others.
The AMDO General Secretary, Dr Abdulazeez Gbadamosi, in a statement on Monday, said the suspension followed its Emergency Congress held on Sunday.
He said that the Executive Council appreciated members for strict compliance and confidence reposed in its leadership.
He thanked the elders whom he said contributed to the mediation and partial restoration of industrial harmony.
Gbadamosi said that the congress resolved to suspend the strike between Nov. 2 and Nov. 15, to allow for further negotiations.
He directed the members to resume full clinical activities from 8 a.m on Monday.
The general secretary added that a review of progress made on the negotiations would take place in due course.
