Nurses at the State Hospital, Ijaye, Abeokuta, on Thursday, staged a protest over an alleged assault of a student nurse by a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at the hospital.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the protesting nurses were led by the Chairman of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives , Ogun chapter, Adejoke Bello.
NAN reports that the angry nurses were chanting various songs to drive home their grievances, while also armed with placards bearing messages condemning the alleged act. According to her, the assault is against the public service rule and should not have happened, under any circumstance. “But, we have heard nothing from them, especially the management of this hospital; they have not called us; so we are left with no choice than to mobilise for this peaceful protest,” he said.”We are saying no to harassment and assault of nurses. We have told our nurses to go back to work but we have given the management of the hospital four hours to get back to us in black and white.
“We want the government to activate the state public service rules to handle this matter and ensure that justice is served,” she said.
