 The National Estate Chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association has issued a 21-day strike ultimatum to the state government over poor welfare packages of doctors across the 13 local government areas of the state. Speaking during a press briefing in Lafia, the chairman of NEMR and the state doctor Peter Ata said failure of the state government to implement a doctor's demand within the stipulated time would support the association to embark on an industrial action. Raging from the recent Japan Syndrome where a lot of high-care workers, especially the doctors, are living in droves. And then even the few that are on ground, they are not being encouraged. And they also have what we call the local Japan Syndrome where most of the doctors are also living in the national estate department, so failure is to show that we did this thing. And so they are not put burden. We have not less than 30 to 35 doctors, and out of these 30 to 35 doctors, 15 of them for nine years, if not the people.
