Ibadan – The Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU), University College Hospital
(UCH), Ibadan, has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to pay
their outstanding salaries.
The group told newsmen in Ibadan on Friday that it would proceed on indefinite
strike from Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2017, if the outstanding salaries were not paid.
The group consisted of four professional associations, among whom are the
National Union of Allied Health Professionals (NUAHP) and the National Association
of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM).
Others are Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria (MHWUN) and the Senior
Staff Association of Universities, Teaching Hospitals, Research Institutes and
Associated Institutions (SSAUTHRIAI).
Mr Olusegun Sotiloye, the Chairman, National Union of Allied Health Professionals
(NUAHP), UCH Chapter, told newsmen that the last time they collected salary was in
September.
Sotiloye, who addressed the news conference on the issue, stated that the seven-
day ultimatum commenced from Friday, Dec. 23, and ends on Friday, Dec. 30.
He said that it was sad that health workers, who care for the sick, make decisions
that could result in life and death, were subjected to such unimaginable hardship.
“Some of our members now trek to work to fulfil their professional, ethical and moral
obligations.
“Those who can borrow have borrowed many times and their lenders have grown
tired of them and are no longer lending them money,” he said.
Sotiloye said that their members are dejected, disenfranchised and their morale at
the lowest ebb.
“We must let you know that this has become a recurring decimal as we had the
same problem in 2014 and 2015 as the November and December salaries of the
two years were not paid until January of the following year.
“This has been due to inadequate budgetary provision by the federal government as
they arbitrarily slash the submitted personnel budget supplied by the hospital
management.
“It is against this back ground that we are giving the federal government a seven-day
ultimatum to pay all our outstanding salaries from today, Dec. 23 to Dec. 30.
“And if by then we are yet to receive the salaries, we will proceed on an indefinite
strike by Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2017,” he threatened.
He urged those in charge of personnel budget to do everything that was needful in
making sure that adequate provision was made to cover the incoming year.
Besides, Sotiloye appealed to well-meaning Nigerians to help pressure the federal
government to quickly settle their outstanding salaries.
