Doctors in Lagos state have embarked on a three-day warning strike in protest over the non-payment of their salaries.
The strike began at 8:00 AM on Wednesday, February 18, and will end at 8:00 AM on Saturday, 21.
The latest industrial action affects public sector doctors in the state under the umbrella of the Medical Guild.
The strike was announced by the Chairman of the guild, Biyi Kufo
who said via a statement that the doctors were forced to take the
action after several ultimatums and notices sent to the state government
yielded no positive results.
Moving on......
In a related news, Gov Fashola of Lagos State has urged medical and health workers in the state against going on incessant strike actions. He was speaking at the 2015 State Council of Health Meeting held in Lagos yesterday. He harped on the crucial role of medical workers. In his words;
“Doctors, physicians are the only set of people who ask me to take off my cloth. They are the only one who can tell me never to go out and I won’t. If you commit adultery and you don’t want to tell anyone, you must confess to the physicians. The reason you must tell them is for the diseases not to become epidemic.”
Also at the event was Commissioner for Health, Lagos State, Dr Jide Idris. He spoke on the strides made by the state government especially with respect to the partnerships with the private sector.
