Zamfara doctors suspend planned strike

Medical doctors in Yariman Bakura Specialist Hospital, Gusau, in Zamfara have suspended their planned strike.

The doctors had planned to embark on an indefinite strike from September 4 to protest the non-payment of their salaries and allowances by the state government.

The Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) in Zamfara confirmed the suspension of the strike in a statement signed on Friday by its chairman in the state, Dr. Sanusi Bello and Secretary, Dr. Murtala Shinkafi.
