This followed the abduction of Popoola eight months ago.
NARD said it would in the next three weeks review the Federal Government’s commitment to resolving its demand.

The NARD President, Dr Dele Abdullahi, said that they are suspending the strike now, saying that they would be meeting to review the progress the government has made in the next three weeks.
He explained, “We are resuming on Monday, September 2, 2024, at 8 am. The engagement of the government has been a little bit better. But, we are hopeful that they will sustain this current line of action.”
NARD President further explained that they began a seven-day warning strike last Monday to press for the rescue of Popoola, a registrar in the Department of Ophthalmology at the National Eye Centre, Kaduna.
According to him, she was abducted on December 27, 2023, along with her husband and nephew, pointing out that while her husband was released in March, Popoola and her nephew remain in captivity.
Last week Thursday, the Federal Government said it would invoke the ‘no work, no pay’ policy for the striking resident doctors.
But the doctors said they were unmoved by the threat.
