Akwa Ibom govt’s threat to sack striking health workers, empty – JOHESU
The Akwa Ibom State Government had on Wednesday in a press release signed by the Commissioner for Information, Sir Charles Udoh ordered the health professionals in the State who embarked on the indefinite strike to resume duty or risk being sacked.
Recall that JOHESU’s demands among others were to be given 50% of their basic salary as hazard allowance, reinstatement of about 723 sacked local government health workers, release of circular on implementation of the agreed 80 per cent of the National Consolidated Health Salary Structure and the recruitment of more health workers due to the shortfall occasioned by death, brain drain and retirement.
The unions, however, disclosed that all labour related agencies including the national headquarters of NLC, TUC and JNC have been duly informed of the issue in the State. JOHESU also viewed the Information Commissioner press release as a deliberate act of provocation by alleging that JOHESU was sponsored by political detractors with underlying intent to vandalize health care facilities in the State.
