Workers of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital in Cross River State have protested the non payment of their eighteen month salary.When DAILY POST visited the hospital, patients and some workers in the institution were stranded as the hospital was shut down.
“We came to work this morning only to discover that all the offices, except the emergency ward, were locked by the security men in the hospital who were working on casual basis. Another worker of the university, who also pleaded for anonymity stated that “management ought to have looked into the plight of the security men and if they wanted to do away with their services, they should have paid them and allow them go. This is not giving the hospital a good image.”
