Doctors suspend 40-day-old strike in Cross River

The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) in Cross River State has suspended its strike for two weeks in the state.

The association declared an indefinite strike in Cross River on July 16 following the abduction of one of its members, Prof. Ekanem Ephraim, by hoodlums in the state.

Ekanem was kidnapped by gunmen along the Atimbo road in the Calabar Municipality local government area of the state on July 13.
