Lagos doctors suspend seven-week strike
Doctors in the employ of the Lagos State government have suspended the industrial action which paralyzed public healthcare in the State for seven weeks.
The doctors, during a press briefing after an emergency congress in Lagos on Saturday, said they have reached an agreement with the State government and will be back to work on Monday.
Executives of the State medical guild also announced that the sacked former chairman of the guild, Ibrahim Olaifa, has been reinstated.
They also added that the suspension was based on the promise of the Lagos State government to commence the implementation of the new doctors salary scale (CONMESS) and also to consider the downward review of their taxes.
Many residents lost family members during the seven week impasse between the doctors and the State.
