Worried by the non-payment of salaries by the Abia State Government, the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) said it will commence an indefinite strike in the state on December 8.
This is contained in a communique issued by NMA’s Chairman, Dr Abali Isaiah, and Secretary, Dr Daniel Ekeleme, after meeting on Wednesday in Aba, the state’s commercial nerve-centre.
NMA lamented that their colleagues working at the Abia State University Teaching Hospital (ABSUTH) and the Health Management Board (HMB) are being owed between 21 to 25 months and 13 months’ salary arrears respectively.
Noting that doctors are facing untold hardship, the NMA accused the state government of not showing any serious commitment to the course.
