Health workers under the Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria (MHWUN) in Ekiti State have threatened a three-day protest over alleged outstanding salary arrears and other financial obligations at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH). The union claims that workers have been receiving half salaries for the past 72 months, along with unresolved deductions and allowances. The union has appealed to Governor Biodun Oyebanji to intervene, stating that repeated engagements with hospital management have not resolved the issues. The workers have refrained from industrial action so far due to their support for the governor, but warn of impending protest if their demands are not met.
