A State Executive Committee, SEC, meeting of the Ondo State chapter of Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, NANNM, ended abruptly, yesterday, as nurses chased away their union leaders over payment of 50 per cent salary by the state government to its workforce.
Efforts by the aggrieved nurses to make their leaders declare a strike action over the issue, however, failed.
The union leaders had called the meeting to discuss issues of the attack on three nurses at the Federal Medical Centre, Owo and the 50 per cent half salary paid to state workers.
