The situation of
Adamawa state health workers worsened yesterday, as the commissioner
for health in the state, Dr. Fatima Atiku Abubakar disclosed that one or
two months Federal allocation to the state cannot pay one month salary
of the health workers.
Atiku, who spoke at a press conference in Yola during the UNICEF
workshop on nutrition, accused journalists of over probing into the
activities of the present administration, saying that allocation has
dropped significantly and there was nothing government could do to meet
up salary payments.
She added that the crisis of salaries payment was not restricted to
Adamawa alone, and that the economic problems in the country have
affected all the sectors in the state.
Abubakar, who is also the daughter of the former Vice-President,
Atiku Abubakar, became extremely angry when she was asked why the health
workers haven’t been paid for three months while the governor was
spending billions of naira on unneeded rehabilitation of streets in the
state capital.
Responding angrily, she said, “You journalists are always attacking
us. You people are antagonists and are always looking for where we have
little issues.
