NMA urges Akwa Ibom govt to boost security after hospital attacks trigger strikes

The Nigerian Medical Association has called on the Akwa Ibom state government to strengthen security for doctors following two separate incidents at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital that led to doctors' strikes within four months. The incidents underscore persistent security risks for healthcare workers in the region, though details of the attacks remain unspecified. This development highlights local governance and public-sector labor tensions rather than a broader market or geopolitical shift.
