The National Association of Resident Doctors terminated its industrial action following government promises to address member concerns. Medical professionals began their protest on September 12 over inadequate compensation and training support. Association leaders granted federal authorities a fourteen-day period to fulfill previously negotiated terms regarding doctor welfare packages. The work stoppage ended at eight o'clock Sunday morning after officials confirmed disbursement of the 2025 Medical Residency Training Fund to previously unpaid members.
Association executives acknowledged the burden their actions placed on citizens already struggling with economic hardships and medical needs. The organization demanded that Oyo State authorities meet the fifteen-day deadline established by the Nigerian Medical Association's local chapter to resolve disputes at LAUTECH Teaching Hospital in Ogbomoso. Failure to comply will trigger an unlimited solidarity strike across Oyo State medical facilities. The association urged all state governments to address outstanding welfare concerns affecting their regional members immediately.
