The Nigerian Government has initiated a negotiation meeting with the National Association of Resident Doctors to address its concerns and demands.
SaharaReporters had reported that the resident doctors threatened to embark on a fresh strike action to force the government to meet their demands.
The doctors gave the Nigerian Government three weeks to either meet their demands or face total strike action.

At the end of the meeting, Ngige said the government through the Federal Ministry of Health and the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation will resolve the 20 per cent top up.
The meeting will continue next week Thursday as both sides seek to find a meeting point on the issue.
