Posted on: Sat 06-09-2014

The Nigerian Army had last week, published in the national dailies for vacancies in the Nigerian army medical corps (CLICK HERE TO APPLY) as those already in the corp specifically Doctors have issued a strike notice  due to the Army's stance and refusal to pay up their salaries since their appointments 6 months ago.
 
In a letter obtained by a medical world nigeria correspondent addressed to the the corp commander, Bonny camp, the house officers/ interns wrote:
 
This is to notify you that we the house officers and interns employed by the ministry of defense, Nigeria, having:
 
1) Considered the refusal of the ministry to pay up salaries since our appointments (6 months ago)
2) their insensitivity to our plights and various pleas to resolve this salary issue amicably 
3) Refusal to disburse pay slip before payment of salaries
4) and inability ot meet up with the two weeks deadline of payment given to us by them. 
 
Have decided to embark on strike action penidng when our six months outstanding salaries are paid, along side disbursement of pay slip with effect monday 8th september 2014
 
Efforts to contact the ministry of defence at the time of writing this report proved abortive
