Doctors in the employment of Ekiti State government
have threatened to start a warning strike if by Monday, April 7,
government refuses to meet their demands.
They are complaining among others of what they call heavy
taxation on its members by the state government, asking for
massive tax reduction.
The doctors, under the aegis of Nigerian Medical Association,
NMA, called for immediate restoration of the Consolidated Medical
Salary Scale to Doctors working at the local government level as
applicable to their colleagues at the secondary and tertiary
hospitals.
Obimakinde said the union took the decision to embark on
warning strike at its Ordinary General Meeting of Thursday, March
27 after government failed to meet their demands despite several
meetings with Governor Kayode Fayemi on the lingering crises
bedeviling the sector.
