Delta State chapter of the Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) of the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) has threatened to take a legal action against the NMA and the Medical and Dental Consultants’ Association of Nigeria (MDCAN) over their nationwide strike in government hospitals.

 

JOHESU chairman at the FMC, Asaba, Comrade Tony Asiodu, condemned the two unions for embarking on what he called an “ego-bloating and prejudiced” strike at the expense of Nigerians.

 

In a statement yesterday, Asiodu said an Abuja court had restrained the medical unions from any strike.

He said: “Nigerians must say no to MDCAN/NMA that have become anti-people. The Federal Government should not allow itself to be blackmailed by MDCAN/NMA.”
