Agency Report

— March 10, 2014

Striking workers of the National Hospital will on Tuesday suspend their 12-day-old strike and resume work, the Senior Staff Association of the institution has said.
Mr Kelani Jelili, Chairman of the association, confirmed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Monday.
NAN reports that some members of staff went on strike on Feb. 27, following the management’s failure to implement some of their conditions of service.
Jelili said that the striking unions decided to suspend the strike to give room for further dialogue on the issues in contention.
“We have decided to suspend the strike to leave room for further dialogue with the management and we want to inform the public that normal work will resume on Tuesday, March 11 by 8 a.m.
“We therefore demand that no member of staff of National Hospital should be victimised on the account of his or her participation in the strike.’’
Dr Tayo Haastrup, Head, Management Information Service of the hospital, also confirmed to NAN that the board had received a correspondence to this effect and that work would resume.
The workers’ demand include the implementation of the Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS) by the management.
Others are provision of statutory benefits to workers as provided in the public service rule.
The health workers involved in the strike are the National Hospital Abuja chapters of Senior Staff Association, National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives and the Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria.  (NAN)

Kidnappers Demand 30million Naira for the realease of President Jonathan's Uncle

Nitabai Inengite The abductors of President Goodluck Jonathan’s uncle and foster father, Nitabai Inengite, have rejected an offer of N30 million made by the victim's family. Mr. Inengite has been in his abductor's custody for 12 days.
A family source told SaharaReporters that their family had sent word to President Jonathan about their inability to raise the ransom demanded by the abductors.
Mr. Jonathan is currently in his home town, Otuoke. There are indications that he may facilitate the release of funds to pay the kidnappers. Our source said the kidnappers have asked for N500 million.
Mr. Inengite was abducted 12 days ago from his Otuoke residence.
Two security sources confirmed that the kidnappers had established contact with
the family and demanded a ransom of N500 million to free the victim. One source disclosed that the kidnappers were offered N30 million by the family.
The kidnappers were reportedly irked by the offer which they reportedly described as paltry for the foster father of the president.
The heavy presence of armed securitymen deployed to secure the release of Mr. Inengite has so far yielded no breakthrough.
Numerous kidnap incidents in Bayelsa State remain unsolved, heightening the state of insecurity in the president's home state. A law in the state  state prescribes the death sentence for kidnapping. The law has largely failed  to deter criminals who rake in fortunes by kidnapping relatives of notable politicians, political appointees, oil industry employees and hapless citizens.
