The doctors under the aegis of National Association of Government General Medical and Dental Practitioners, (NAGGMDP), have issued a 21 day ultimatum to the government of 12 states of the federation after which they will be forced to begin a strike action.

Speaking through its National President, Dr Nurud-Din Akindele, at a news conference held in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital , the doctors said the affected states are owing between two and eight months salaries.

The states include:

1. Abia

2. Anambra

3. Bayelsa

4. Ebonyi

5. Ekiti

6. Enugu

7. Kogi

8. Ondo

9. Nasarawa

10. Osun

The association also threw its weight behind the action of Soccio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP ) which has dragged governors owing their workforce before the International Court of Justice, ICC, at the Hague.
