 Meanwhile, the Nassau State Government has appealed to members of the Nigerian Medical Association in the state to reconsider the stance on the ongoing strike action in the interest of patients in various hospitals across the state. Deputy Governor Dr. Emmanuel Akabe made the appeal while speaking with newsmen in Lafayette. He however said he was surprised to learn that they had commenced a warning strike because their demands were already being met by the state government. The association had lamented about poor welfare packages of its members from the state governments before the Clarina 5-day warning strike, which commenced today and would end July 10. It's a divorce time. We don't want our patients to suffer. We don't want it. Whatever it is, I have to take them to get them back to work, go to our patients here and get them back to work. And I will plead with them to consider the ethics of their own profession and the fact that they are trained to save lives. And I'm sure not all doctors here will like to see a patient die because he or she could not give a necessary professional services that is required of him. I wouldn't give a serious session. It's quite pathetic and it's sad, very sad and not anything that anybody wants to wish anybody in any of the relations. And I hope that the doctors will see a reason to come back to work so that we could join the negotiations and then see what the government can do to live up to our responsibilities.
