STRIKE COMPETITION BONANCA!!!

STRIKE BONAZA: The National Association
of Resident Doctors, today commenced an
indefinite
strike across Nigeria.
The President of the association, Jubril
Abdullahi, said his members were forced to
take the decision as a result of the federal
government’s refusal to meet their
demands.
The medical group had two weeks ago
issued a two weeks ultimatum and
threatened to embark on the indefinite
industrial action should the Federal
Government fail to pay the accumulated
salaries of its members within two weeks.
The doctors also complained of the refusal
of the government to implement an
agreement with the union on the
Integrated Payroll Payment System, IPPS.
Some teaching hospitals such as the Lagos
University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, Idi-
Araba, owes its resident doctors more than
four months salaries. The LUTH chapter of
the group had only suspended an industrial
action about two weeks ago.
With this, the education and health sector
which are critical sectors of the nation's
economy have been brought to stand-still.
Currently, ASUU and SSANU are on an
indefinite total strike. Also the NUT is
planning to commence a solidarity strike.
Moreover, ASUP has announced that the
union will commence a total indefinite
strike nationwide on Friday October 4th
2013.
Who is to blame?
