The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors has suspended its planned protest.
NARD President, Innocent Orji, says the industrial action by the association, however, continues.
Orji says the protest will be on hold but the strike is continuing adding that they will review again in 72 hours.
The NARD President says his colleagues have eight major demands including the need for the government to recruit new hands to replace those who have left the system through migration (brain drain) or death.
