Protesting resident doctors attached to the
Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa, Bayelsa
State last week cried out to the Federal
Government
and threatened to join the MMM ponzi
scheme if nothing is done to help them.

The doctors are protesting over unpaid four
months salaries owed them by the Federal
Government, threatening to withdraw
medical
services to patients on November 15.

It was gathered that the protesting doctors,
under the Association of Resident Doctors
said though they have met the management
of the
Federal Medical Centre over the issue, the
responses were not encouraging.
The protesting doctors were led by their
Chairman, Dr. Nonso Okoye, and armed with
placards some of which reads “Our Families
are
hungry”, FG pay our salaries” and “We are
hungry, MMM is becoming an option”, c alled
on Nigerians to prevail on the Federal
Government
to pay up salaries owed them.

According to the protesters, they were paid
52 per cent salary from February to May,
2016 and owed September and October.
“We want the Federal Government to pay us
our monies. We have not withdrawn
services. All we are saying is for the
government to pay us for
work done.

“Nigerians should prevail on the Federal
Government to pay us. As much as we don’t
want to withdraw our services, we have
resolved to
withdraw the services by 15th of November
if nothing is done.

“We have met with the management but all
they did was pay us a month salary. They
told us that the budget available cannot pay
salary,” the
protesters said.

When contacted, the Chief Medical Director
of the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Dennis
Alagoa said the blame is not from the
management, but added “with Tuesday
statement
by the President, we are assured that the
issue will be resolved soon.”
