The doctors noted that the difficult decision to embark on indefinite strike action effective 8 a.m., Friday, 25th August 2023, was taken after all efforts seeking the release of their colleague from captivity proved abortive.
The NMA said in the communique that there will be a massive protest of doctors on Tuesday 29 August 2023, at the Government House Roundabout to terminate at the government house.
NMA also called on the Governor of Benue State, Rev Fr Hyacinth Alia, stakeholders and other well-meaning individuals in the state to wade into the matter to secure the release of the young medical doctor.
