The Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) at Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH), Sagamu, has suspended its 10-day warning strike after receiving assurances from the Ogun State Government that outstanding professional allowances will be paid on or before July 31, 2026.
The decision followed a meeting involving state officials, including the Secretary to the State Government, Tokunbo Talabi, the Head of Service, Olanrewaju Saka, and the Ogun State leadership of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA). Doctors have been directed to resume work from 8 a.m. on June 25.
The ARD said it will review the government's compliance at an emergency meeting on August 1, while warning against victimisation of members who participated in the industrial action.
The strike was initially triggered by unpaid allowances, delayed residency training funds, staff shortages, poor welfare conditions,
