Internship students at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, UNTH, Ituku-Ozalla are currently protesting continuous under-payment of their salary by the hospital management.
The affected interns claim that the management had been deducting their salaries despite repeated pleas.
NATIONAL POST learnt that having exhausted other avenues, they took to the streets on Thursday.
In a trending video, the protesters could be heard chatting: "We want our full salary", as they marched round the hospital with placards.
There are claims that whereas their monthly salary is supposed to be N217,000, some of them were being paid about N140,000.
Our correspondent reports that some interns who served in the hospital years ago also complained of similar issues.
One of them said their hazard allowance was not paid during the period.
Meanwhile, the Minister of State for Health, Dr. Iziaq Salako, who coincidentally arrived the UNTH while the protest was ongoing, assured the interns that the outstanding salary would be paid in full.
He also promised the protesters that nobody would be victimizes on the basis of their action.
The Minister was in Enugu to commission a project at the oncology department.
No response has come from the hospital management as of the time of filing this report.
