The management of the Federal Teaching Hospital Gombe (FTH) has prohibited its employees from engaging in ‘crypto’ or any form of ‘mining’ while on duty.
The management said that it had noticed that the new trend is distracting workers from attending to patients.
An internal circular by the hospital stated that staff have the right to engage in other activities when they are not on duty.
Adamu Usman Tela, the deputy director of administration of the hospital confirmed this to Trust Radio, on Thursday.

“We took this step even before receiving any complaints, because taking care of the public health is the first thing,” Tela said.
The circular added that “the Management has already deployed SERVICOM, ACTU and Security Officers around to monitor and ensure compliance with the directives.”
In recent times, mining has become common among Nigerians, including wage earners.
