(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – There are strong indications that workers at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology ( ESUT ) Teaching Hospital, Parklane, may soon embarked on indefinite industrial action, following series of disagreements, alleged injustices, and maltreatment by the Enugu state government on the labor unions in the health facility.
Some of the aggrieved labour unions in the hospital are, Nigeria Union of Allied Health Professionals (NUAHP) and National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM).
African Examiner reports that NUAHP members are made up of Physiotherapists, Pharmacists, Medical Laboratory Scientists, Nutritionists, Medical Social Workers, Dieticians, Optometrists, Clinical Psychologists, etc, while NANNM consists of Nurses and Midwives.

Tertiary institutions under the auspices of Joint Unions of Tertiary Institutions of Kaduna State (JUTIKS), have threatened to go on strike over issues that had lingered for over 12 years.
Chairman of JUTIKS, Mr. Noah Danlami, stated this in a statement issued yesterday in Kaduna.
Danlami said some of the issues include the non-implementation of appropriate salary structures for academic and non-academic staff of tertiary institutions, which came into effect in January 2010.
He alleged that the state government was currently paying only 80 per cent of the old Consolidated Tertiary Institution Salary Structure (CONTISS), which has continued to dampen the moral of the staff.
