ABUTH resident doctors begin five-day warning strike
The National Association of Resident Doctors, Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, has commenced a five-day warning strike over the non-payment of salaries owed to some members
The branch association’s Vice President, Dr. Ashiru Mikail made this known during a news conference on Monday in Zaria, Kaduna State.He, however, noted that the request had expired on Sunday, July 21, 2024, hence the commencement of the warning strike.
He said the association would reconvene to review its strategy after the warning strike to determine the next line of action, adding that it rejects percentage salary payments for members on the GIFMIS platform, and demands repayment of parts of their withheld salaries.
According to him, in June 2024, the salaries of affected members were slashed by about 25 to 27 per cent representing N58,000 to N60,000.
He explained that the doctors who were paid in percentage in June were being owed salary arrears for 2021.
Mikail said that the association on July 15, 2024, gave a one-week ultimatum to the hospital management to address their demands or be faced with a warning strike.
