Nigeria, May 25 -- Medical doctors have disagreed with other health workers in Ondo State over a national strike in the sector scheduled to begin on Friday.

The Nigerian Union of Allied Health Professionals (NUAHP) called the indefinite strike over the alleged failure of government to meet its demands.

The state chapter of NUAHP said its members will join the strike. But another union, Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria (MHWUN), said its members will not.

NUAHP comprises medical laboratory scientists, optometrists, physiotherapists, pharmacists, health information managers/officers and radiographers.
