Medical doctors in Abia State, on Friday, suspended their six months old industrial action to enable the present administration to offset the backlog of unpaid salaries.<\/p>\n

Dr Isaiah Abali, the Chairman of the Abia Chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, announced the suspension at a news briefing in Umuahia.<\/p>\n
