The statement read as follows;

“The 3 days warning strike should be suspended and work resume by 8am on Thursday 16th July, 2020.

The officers committee should continue to engage relevant government agencies on all the issues that precipitated the strike action.

The officers committee should call for congress to update on the progress of negotiations.

The government should demonstrate sincerity and commitment during the negotiation in order to avert unnecessary and preventable crisis in the health sector of Lagos state.
