Ekiti doctors begin warning strike

Doctors at the Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido Ekiti, will begin a three-day warning strike today (Monday) over the failure of the management to pay full salaries to their members, among other issues.

The Chairman of the Medical and Dental Consultants’ Association of Nigeria, Ekiti branch, Dr Timothy Olajide, said the warning strike became inevitable after the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum issued to the management.

Briefing newsmen in Ado Ekiti, Olajide said the council at its meeting on Thursday decided that its members would no longer accept salaries of resident doctors as senior officials of the hospital.
