Zamfara Sacks 400 Striking Nurses by LMAyedun(m): 5:24pm On Dec 11, 2013
The health officials are demanding the implementation of a new pay structure.

The Zamfara State Government has announced the sack of over 400 nurses and midwives, who went on strike over pay, accusing them of leaving their duty posts without permission,
The Commissioner for Information, Ibrahim Birnin Magaji, announced the decision in a statement on Wednesday in Gusau.

The health workers had been on an indefinite strike since last Wednesday, over non-implementation of CONHESS by the state government.

Mr. Birnin Magaji dismissed the claim by the health workers, saying that the government had approved the implementation of the new salary effective from December1.

According to him, the decision to terminate the appointments is in line with Civil Service Rules.

“We therefore stand by it. As representatives of the people, we cannot fold our hands to allow such actions to continue; leaving our hospitals empty without workers.”

The commissioner explained that the termination order did not affect those who were on leave.

Reacting to the development, the state Chairman of Association of Nurses and Midwives, Bashir Mafara, described the state government’s pronouncement as “an empty threat”.

He said the workers would continue with the strike and take measures to protect their rights.

The state Civil Service Commission had a week ago commenced the recruitment of new nurses and midwives into the state service.

Government’s decision on the workers would affect health care services in the state which recently recorded 47 deaths from cholera outbreak.

Zamfara is one of the states led by the All Progressives Congress, APC, Nigeria’s largest opposition party.

Another APC state, Lagos, had also sacked striking health workers including doctors, but reversed its decision due to public pressure and condemnation.

The APC had condemned the federal government’s threat to sack university lecturers who failed to resume duties by December 9.

Fashola-APC, sacked striking doctors.
Jonathan-PDP, sacks striking university lecturers
Zamfara gov-APC, sacks striking nurses.
Naija can't be fixed no which is in power.
Common denominators:
Politicians don't care about workers.
Politicians don't care about education cos their kids and relatives study abroad
Politicians don't care about health care cos they go abroad for treatment.

The governor is a joker.
He will not only reinstate the nurses, but he will pay their full salaries just 10 minutes after the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and midwives down tools in all hospitals in Nigeria as a sympathy strike.
The fool of a governor should have learnt from how Nigeria Medical Association humbled FASHIOLA when he tried this mess. But fools don't learn.

I advise that amicable solution be adopted to resolving this impasse. What would we gain by making life difficult for others. All things are possible! Let's think outside the box, take away pride, put self aside and work together to build our father land ( Nigeria ).
