ABUJA—THE President of the Senate, Senator David Mark yesterday thanked the National Association of Resident Doctors, NARD, for listening to the pleas from Nigerians calling on them to shelve their strike.
Senator Mark who last week met with the striking doctors also commended their decisions to return to work, saying their decisions was a great honour to the people of Nigeria. Mark in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Paul Mumeh, said, “dialogue was the best option to any disagreement or crisis. I commend the doctors for going back to work while negotiations with the Federal Government continue. Government is committed to meeting the demand of its workforce, including medical workers so that the dividends of democracy will trickle down the ladder.”

Senator Mark also commiserated with the government and people of Bauchi State over the death of their Emir, Alhaji Suleiman Adamu Jumba, saying the late monarch lived an exemplary life.
