The Association of Resident Doctors at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu, Ogun State, has announced a 10-day warning strike over the non-payment of revised professional and specialist allowances, acute manpower shortages, delayed release of training funds, and worsening welfare conditions.
The association also imposed a fine of N50,000 on any of its members found disobeying the directive during the ten-day warning strike
The decision to embark on industrial action, according to a communique made available to newsmen in Abeokuta on Tuesday, was reached at the association’s second-quarter ordinary general meeting held on Monday at the Adebola Adegunwa Hall, OOUTH, Sagamu.
In the communiqué issued at the end of the meeting and signed by the president of the association, Dr John Omotoso, the resident doctors were deeply concerned about the state government’s failure to implement and pay the revised professional and specialist allowances, including outstanding arrears.
