Consultant doctors at the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital (COOUTH), Amaku-Awka, have given the Anambra State government up to Tuesda to fulfil promises made to them or face the consequences of an indefinite strike. 
The doctors under the umbrella of Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria (MDCAN) COOUTH Amaku-Awka chapter, said the ultimatum became imperative following the inability of government to match its promises with action.
Making their decision known at a press conference jointly addressed by the Chairman of the association, Dr Chukwudi Okani and the immediate chairman, Dr. Amaechi Nwachukwu, the consultants lamented that their salary was ridiculous and made them a laughing stock amongst their colleagues in other state.
However, the state governor said grievances of the doctors were being resolved and therefore, not necessary for them to contemplate any strike.
In a statement,  C Don Adinub, commissionerfor Information & Public Enlightenment, said: “All ndi Anambra enjoin officers of this association to ensure that the excellent industrialrelations in Anambra State, which are part of the unrivalled scale of social harmony in the state, are sustained. Should they carry out the threat of astrike, the greatest casualties will certainly be the most vulnerable in oursociety. The casualties will be men and women, including children, with serious ailments and condition who cannot afford the high bills charged by privatehospitals.
They claimed the best qualified professor, consultants at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital earns salary lower than a house officer, a newly graduated doctor in other states.
The association said it did not give them joy to go on strike as they know the implication on their patients, but had been pushed to the wall and urged Governor Obiano to intervene.
“We are raising the alarm for Obiano to intervene. We don’t want patient to die needlessly,” they said.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions.
