Doctors, nurses and pharmacists at the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), Plateau State, have embarked on a three-day warning strike to protest the implementation of a new tax system introduced by the Federal Government.
They have given a 21-day notice to begin strike if their demands are not met.
In a statement signed by Dr. Ewuga Ovye of the Association of Resident Doctors; Mr. V. Lohdip on behalf of the National Association of Nigerian Pharmacists and Mr. Dakwal Manglet of the Forum of Federation of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives in Jos yesterday, the workers decried the insistence of the management of the hospital to go ahead with the implementation of the new tax law.
The Chief Medical Director (CMD) of JUTH, Dr. Ishaya Pam, decried the strike. He said it was unnecessary.
Said he: “President Goodluck Jonathan in June last year signed the new tax law and it was expected to commence immediately, but the circular got to the management last month and the implementation began with the August salary.”
Pam advised the workers to shelve the strike and return to work in their own interest and in the interest of the public.
