The ongoing nationwide strike embarked upon by the Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) in Nigeria appears to be disappointing and embarrassing. Some branches of Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) are at variance with the JOHESU strike, claiming that there are great disparities between medical doctors and some affiliated health workers called JOHESU using JAMB cutoff marks and other criteria to support their assertions. In the first place, how many JOHESU members have university education? It is the government that gave the health workers ladders to climb by lifting them over other civil servants in Nigeria. Government could privatise the health sector to pave way for competitiveness among various health agencies in the country.
