The President, Association of Resident Doctors, National Eye Centre Chapter, Dr. Dawa Sambo said the strike commenced April 1, 2014 in line with the directive given by the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) which ordered, all local affiliates to ensure the implementation of payment of allowances to doctors in their hospitals.

Dr. Sambo wondered why medical doctors were sidelined in the payment of allowances by management of the Eye Centre while other health workers are enjoying the same allowance.

According to the union, the strike was the last resort for them, as all other measures to make the hospital management pay their allowances had failed.

The doctors have vowed not to resume work until their entitlements are paid.
