Resident Doctors at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu, Ogun State, say they have begun strike after their negotiations with the state government for improved pay collapsed.
The doctors had embarked on a three-day warning strike over the same issue which led to negotiations between them and the state government.
In their letter to Governor Dapo Abiodun, they claimed the state government was not committed to their welfare. The letter reads partly, “Since the government has chosen to simply rub the issues, without any form of real commitment to begin to treat us fairly, we have resolved to discharge our duties only during working days of the week because of our concern for the people during these trying times. We have decided to stay at home on weekends.
