NewsUUTH resident doctors raise alarm over unpaid salary arrears, increased workloadPublished on October 8, 2025By Lovina Anthony


The Association of Resident Doctors at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (UUTH), Akwa Ibom State, has raised the alarm over the failure of the hospital management to pay five months’ salary arrears owed to newly employed members, as well as the delay in correcting their wrongly assigned CONMESS entry level.


This was contained in a communiqué endorsed by Drs. Promise Jacob and Enam-Eti Akpan, President and General Secretary of the association, respectively, in Uyo on Wednesday, at the end of a virtual emergency meeting held on Sunday, September 5.

The association regretted the inability of the management to address some of the concerns raised in its last communiqué of July 31 and October 1, 2025, saying it had no option but to proceed on a seven-day warning strike effective 8:00 a.m. on Monday, October 6, 2025.


Some of the concerns raised by the association, as contained in the communiqué, include: “The 2023 set of employed residents are yet to receive their accumulated salary arrears. Existing manpower deficits across all departments are resulting in increasing workload, fatigue, and workplace burnout. The House Officers’ Quarters and Call Rooms remain in a deplorable state, with negligible maintenance from the Works Department.”

The association therefore called on the hospital management to correct and implement the proper CONMESS entry level for all newly employed resident doctors and re-issue appointment letters to reflect the corrected CONMESS level, upgrade members to their current grade levels with prompt payment of the corresponding arrears, and pay the three members affected by failed biometric capture immediately via the GIFMIS platform, pending correction on the IPPIS platform.

Other demands raised by the association include the urgent employment of additional resident doctors across all departments to address manpower shortages and mitigate workplace burnout, as well as the renovation and proper maintenance of the House Officers’ Quarters and Call Rooms.


The communiqué concluded that an Emergency General Meeting (EGM) shall be convened at the expiration of the seven-day warning strike to review management’s response and determine further actions, even as it pledged readiness to deliver quality healthcare, but not to the detriment of members’ legitimate welfare.

Local hospitals in Lagos state

bunto:
I like your comment.

It is not everyday you see a Nigerian leader that builds and builds even when they have the funds. See Bayelsa state

But the governor should please, please try to also build the people.
The level of illiteracy in Akwa Ibom is unacceptable.
It's as if they are still in the caveman's period.

But overall...good job Governor Odom. Keep moving!

You should do your research before you give false info.

What is wrong with IPOB youth?
What is the difference between IPOB/ESN and Fulani bandit?

Give credit to the author na.
Na so corruption dey take start o

zidek:
the only recruitment he has ever done after 6years in office, he will be fanning himself.

Not true.
HMB 2019

But you dey talk inside exam hall ko

The honorarium is working.
Please hype it small

Well represented

World standard school in Imo state

World class school in Enugu state

World class secondary school in Aba South LGA

Ezmans:
where do you think am talking from?

I don't care

Ezmans:
go those places you mentioned for treatment & drugs or scan & come back to me

If you don't know anything, keep quiet.

Ezmans:
so I have became an abia citizen bcs am talking the truth

Truth
Face your governor. Go and develop your state.
H.E Udom Emmanuel is not the cause of the development problem in your state.

Obalatule:
it's already happening in your land, Your short girls are invading igboland to sell their bodies for #200

Your 'tall girls' are all over Nigeria trading.

Obalatule:
Your women are only known for s*X in Nigeria, No good thing has ever come out from Ákwà ibom

Your men are known for pushing drugs.
Very soon there will be promo in your land. Marry 1 and take 2 for free.

Obalatule:
And they are full of Ákwà ibom girls, Poverty is ravaging Ákwà ibom state, and your Governor is building church

Like Amake and Nkiruka

Ezmans:
All The local governments in akwaibom don't have general hospital , no maternity for pregnant women, evil religious nation, only a fool with 19th century brain I'll praise these elephant project

General hospital Ikot Ekpene, General hospital Ituk Mbang etc are PHCs ko.
If you don't know what to say, just crawl to your gully erosion state.
Your kerosene governor built world class hospital for you ko.

Ezmans:
A building that can't add any impact in the life of the citizens, just for the governor to loot & divert Money. No single brewery in the whole South south that can employ thousands of people

Like your kerosene governor is busy developing Abia.
Have you heard of Champion brewery?

Obalatule:
is that why your brothers are all over Nigeria doing gateman? All the slums in Nigerian cities are full of Ákwà ibom people if you don't know, the oil in their state is meaningless to an average Ákwà ibom person

All the baby factories are controlled by Igbos

Obalatule:
Ákwà ibom is an embarrassment, the citizens are running away cos no work, Uyo is a village....all the oil money yet nothing to show

South eastern states are well developed.
Umahia and Owerri are well developed.
Your people are in their respective states doing business and working ko

Hellraiser77:
Ákwà ibom is empty, Akwaibomites has scattered all over the country doing menial jobs

Igbos are doing white collar jobs all over the world.

They wont hold their governors responsible for the under development in their states but will masturbate on a state that is far better than theirs.
Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo are the most developed states in Nigeria.
Uwa afet.

Hellraiser77:
Nigg your state is highly underdeveloped, Uyo is a shanty town, Ákwà ibomites are mostly gatemen, keke riders, bike riders......the women prefer harlotery work, there is nothing for anybody in Ákwà ibom yet it receives the second largest monthly allocation after delta

Igbos are leading when it comes to harlotry in Nigeria.
Mention any Igbo state that is developed.
Go and develop your state. Leave Akwa Ibom alone. We aren't the cause of your erosion.

Over to victory for democracy crew
