Expectation that the inconclusive industrial action called by resident doctors would soon end developed yesterday, as the Federal Government consented to discharge N422, 564,729.34 to settle the gathered remittances of house officers serving in Federal Tertiary Health Institutions (FTHIs).

This was one of the features of the re-arranged Memorandum of Settlement concurred between the Federal Government and the striking individuals from National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD).

It was gathered that the National Salaries Income and Wages Commission (NSIWC) had since August 31, made a calculation of the financial implications for the House Officers' Pay from which the N422.5 billion was arrived base at.

In the mean time, the National Executive Council (NEC) of NARD would meet today to survey the strike that has entered its fifth day.

It would ponder on the re-arranged Memorandum of Terms of Settlement it marked with the Federal Government after around 10-hour meeting on Wednesday.
