news - Osun State government battles Medical doctors on HWN HIGHLIGHT back to all News
Osun State government battles Medical doctors on HWN HIGHLIGHT
Osun-State-government-battles-Medical-doctors-on-HWN-HIGHLIGHT

The Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria has condemned the non-payment of salaries of doctors and other workers at the Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Osun State.

The Chairman of MDCAN, LAUTECH branch, Dr. Kassim Adebayo, and secretary, Dr. Tokunbo Olajumoke, said this in a letter written to Governor Rauf Aregbesola, a copy of which was made available to newsmen on Friday.

The Speaker of the House of Assembly, Mr. Najeem Salam, and the Head of Service, Mr. Sunday Owoeye, and others were copied.

The doctors frowned at the government’s announcement of April 13th directing LAUTECH workers to resume work immediately or lose their jobs if they failed to comply with the directive. The MDCAN said members of the association were not on any strike now despite the salary issues but they said the threat to sack other hospital workers who were on strike was an act of insensitivity.

They argued that the government ought to have appealed to the striking workers rather than ordering them to resume or be ready to lose their jobs since the state government had failed in its obligation.

The doctors stated that they had given the government an ultimatum and would not hesitate to obey the directive of the national body of the association at the expiration of the ultimatum.
