🇳🇬 Nigeria public doctors end strike after talks with lawmakers
Frontline doctors in Nigerian public hospitals on Friday ended a three-week strike to press for a pay rise, the doctors' union said.
The National Association of Resident Doctors said the decision to end the strike followed "a very fruitful meeting" with lawmakers, led by the president of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, in the capital Abuja.
"From our interaction with the President of the Senate and the practical demonstration he did before us today, we are very confident that there will be light at the end of the tunnel," NARD president told.
The doctors were the first public sector workers to strike after fuel prices more than tripled and increased transport fares.

🇳🇬 Nigeria strikes illegal oil refining sites in air raids
The Nigerian air force says it carried out strikes on illegal oil refining sites in the Niger Delta region on Sunday.
The force said it had destroyed several illegal sites in oil-rich Rivers state and also targeted a boat that was loaded with crude oil and headed for the open waters.
Nigeria has been cracking down on oil thieves in the Niger Delta, burning crude-laden ships and small illegal refineries, but aerial bombardments are uncommon.
Most of the illegal oil refineries tend to be located in the creeks away from communities but environmentalists have condemned the continual burning of the refineries.

#Nigeria 🇳🇬: #Biafra Liberation Army (#BLA) have recently released a new video: which shows three fighters with various weapons.
In the video, fighters are carrying an uncommon Chinese 14.5x114mm CS/LM2 (QJG-02) heavy machine gun and two 7.62x51mm G3A3 rifles.
It's also quite possible that the CS/LM2 HMG was smuggled from a foreign country in Africa.
