Obembe said the reversal of the suspension of the residency programme would further smoothen the relations with the government
Obembe explained that the suspension was the outcome of the emergency delegates meeting held on Saturday in Abuja
But Obembe said he would not give the exact date and time when the strike would be called off until he reports back to his members since “the meeting with the Senate President is very useful and successful”
Besides, Senator Mark was of the view that the outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease, now a national emergency, is enough reason for them to suspend the strike and rise up to the challenge of saving their country men and women
According to Obembe, whose resignation letter was rejected by the Association, the latest government stance will further worsen the present industrial harmony
Obembe had on Thursday announced the suspension of the strike action embarked upon by the union following the appeal by the government sequel to the outbreak of the Ebola Virus Disease in the country
‘The pains, pangs, groans and cries of 170 million Nigerians cannot be ignored’
It will be recalled that the NMA President, Dr. Kayode Obembe, had on Monday directed its members to embark on a strike starting from July 1, due to government’s failure to meet its demands
Obembe, said the body opted for a “total and indefinite strike” at an emergency delegates meeting held on June 28, after negotiations with the Federal Government failed to yield relevant results
Obembe made the call at a news conference on Sunday at the end of the NMA’s 54th Annual General Meeting and Delegates Conference held in Benin, Edo State
Shortly after his election, he said that the new executives would deliver their duties with vigour, enthusiasm and singleness of purpose
