Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna has warned medical doctors and other health workers threatening to embark on industrial action in the state that they stand the risk of losing their jobs.

He declared that his administration would not be blackmailed.

In a statement issued on Thursday night by his Special Adviser on Media and Communication, Muyiwa Adekeye, El-Rufai said he would keep the health facilities in the state running and protect workers who were willing to work.

Reacting to the strike notice served by the health workers in the state, El-Rufai said it was criminal to declare a strike action in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

He insisted that his government would not be cowed by the threat of strike action into excluding health workers from the mandatory donation of 25% salary by all civil servants to fund the provision of palliatives for vulnerable people impacted by the lockdown.

“The government rejects the strike threat and will regard persons who fail to show up at their assigned places of work as having forfeited their employment. Every health worker that is willing to work is required to sign the register at the Ministry of Health and the health institutions to which they are deployed.

“The Ministry of Health has the mandate of the government to ensure that residents of Kaduna State are not deprived of public health services.

“Every effort will be made to ensure that health facilities keep functioning, staffed by willing workers who will be guaranteed free and safe access to health facilities. Those who are not willing to work are strongly warned against criminal actions such as attempts to impede access to workplaces, harass willing workers or to sabotage facilities and equipment.

“The state government will not be misled into granting health workers a special status amongst public servants. The consequences of concessions made along such lines by previous governments have created a sense that some public servants are more precious than others,” the governor said.
