Clinical services have fully resumed at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital (BSUTH), Makurdi, following the suspension of an industrial action by resident doctors.
The doctors called off the strike after reaching an agreement with hospital management and the Benue State Government over key welfare and working condition issues. Patients who had been stranded during the industrial action have begun returning to the hospital as normal services resume.
Hospital sources confirmed that negotiations focused on the payment of outstanding allowances, improved working conditions, and commitments to address manpower and infrastructure challenges. The management reportedly assured the doctors of a clear timeline for resolving the disputed issues.
The strike had disrupted healthcare delivery, forcing many patients to seek alternative medical services or postpone treatments. Civil society groups and patient advocates had earlier appealed to both parties to resolve the dispute in the interest of public health.

Speaking after the suspension, representatives of the resident doctors said the decision was taken in good faith, following assurances that agreed terms would be implemented. They warned, however, that failure to honour the agreement could trigger a fresh action.
The hospital management welcomed the development, describing it as a relief to patients and staff. Officials reiterated their commitment to sustaining dialogue and improving healthcare delivery in the state.
The reopening of services is expected to ease pressure on other health facilities in Makurdi and restore confidence in the teaching hospital as a major referral centre.
