health workers at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (UUTH) in Akwa Ibom State are maintaining their strike action, which commenced approximately one week ago. This decision persists despite interventions from several high-ranking officials, including Governor Umo Eno, the Minister of Health, and the Deputy Governor, who have made appeals for the doctors to return to work. The strike was reportedly initiated in response to a recent incident involving shootings by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that has raised concerns among the medical staff regarding their safety and working conditions.
