Medical services in Zamfara were paralysed on Wednesday, as the State resident doctors joined their counterparts nationwide on indefinite strike, saying Federal government should allow them to breathe.
Speaking with Nigerian tribune in Gusau, the General Secretary of the National Association of Resident Doctors, Zamfara State branch, Dr Ibrahim Dauran said, the branch has obeyed the directive of the national executives of the association and observed the industrial action.
According to him, failure of the government to implement the agreement reached includes issues of hazard allowances, upward salary review, medical residency training funds 2023 among others.
He disclosed that immediate release of the circular on one-for-one replacement among other demands has also led to an indefinite strike by members.
Dr Dauran called on the Federal Government to allow the doctors to “breathe” by approving and implementing at least 80% of their demands.
“My call on the Federal Government, as their slogan is to allow the poor to breathe but if they prolong this strike, they will surely suffocate the poor man, they should also allow we the Doctors to breathe,” he emphasised.
