Bayelsa doctors are in despair as their autumn salaries are yet to be paid
The protesting medics demand the federal government to pay them as soon as possible
They even said they are considering MMM as an option to feed their families
Last week hundreds of doctors took to the streets of Yenagoa, Bayelsa state, to protest against unpaid four-months salaries owed them by the federal government.
The desperate medics even threatened to stop providing medical care to patients giving November 15 as the last date to repay all the debts.
The Association of Resident Doctors have recently met the Federal Medical Centre authorities to discuss the issue, however, the results left a lot to be desired.
The doctors led by Dr. Nonso Okoye, their chairman, were seen carrying placards saying “Our families are hungry”, “FG pay our salaries” and “We are hungry, MMM is becoming an option”.
