THE National Union of Pharmacists,
Medical Scientists and Professionals
Allied to Medicine (NUAHP), on
Thursday, declared an indefinite strike
across all tertiary health facilities in the
nation.
The union, in a statement entitled;
“Declaration of Indefinite Strike,”
made available to journalists on
Thursday, said it took the decision
because the Federal Ministry of Health
had failed to meet its demands.
Signed by the national president of
the union, Comrade Felix Faniran;
General Secretary, O. C. Ogbonna;
and other executive members, the
statement noted that NUAHP had
given the Federal Government an
ultimatum which it later extended by
15 days when the Ministry of Health
raised some complaints about it.
The ultimatum, however, expired on
Thursday with the Federal
Government yet to move to address
the issues at stake.
“Therefore, the union has no
alternative than to declare an
indefinite strike. The national
secretariat, therefore, directs all units,
states and geopolitical zones of
NUAHP to proceed on industrial action
as from 8.00 a.m. Of 16 August, 2013,”
it noted.
