Lagos Doctors Embark on 3-Day Warning Strike Amidst Growing Concerns

The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has announced that doctors in Lagos will embark on a 3-day warning strike, starting from Monday. This decision was made after a series of meetings between the NMA and the Lagos State Government failed to yield any positive results.
